Ask HN: I'm having dinner with the Mythbuster tomorrow night... got any questions?

27 pointsby Readmorealmost 17 years ago
I won an Intel triva contest and the prize is a trip to San Fran for dinner with the Mythbusters. Anyone have any questions or myths they want me to plug?

Please have them debunk water-for-gas once and for all! And thank them for improving the science-education aspect of their show! It's gotten much better over the past year/year and a half.

Can you ask them to watch an episode from the first season, then straight away an episode from the most recent season?<p>I hope that the shock from seeing how much the quality has gone down might prompt them to do something about it. The new ADD friendly format is still better than anything else on television... but that isn't saying a lot. With a bit of luck they might fire the producer who believes in the myth of appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Is there any tech (in the sense that most news.yc readers are used to - software, or computer hardware) that is invaluable to making their show?

I would like to see if they can melt steel using an open kerosene fire, but I hear they won't touch that because of the politics.

Is there any truth to the "Birds mimicking cell phones" stories.<p>Like this one: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031005163144/http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_288774.html?menu" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20031005163144/http://www.ananova...</a><p>This would also be a great opportunity to talk about tits.

They should set up an experiment where different people pray for the same thing using different prayers (and different faiths) along with a control group of people reading poetry and tally the percentages of people that get results, so we know which prayers are most effective.

I'd like to know if washing colors in cold water vs. hot really makes a difference. Maybe that's not explode-y enough though...

It'd be cool to have a behind-the-scenes style show like I've seen done on Dirty Jobs where you kind of get to know the camera people and sounds folks, etc. that are always behind the camera.

I'm only suggesting this because I'm sure there are others out there that are thinking it.<p>... Can you get me Kari's number? :)
