Myths Revisited

Synopsis:
And you thought the MythBusters usually got it right the first time. Psych! In this episode, Jamie and Adam, with a little help from you, the viewer, revisit some of the most popular and controversial myths, putting their own experiments to the test. You might not get electrocuted urinating on the third rail, but how shocking would it be to pee on an electrified fence? Did Adam apply enough pressure to test the exploding implants correctly? And are cell phones truly dangerous at gas stations?

Myth #3: Gas Stations and Cell Phones
And are cell phones truly dangerous at gas stations?

Myth #4: Chicken Gun
Did the MythBusters test the chicken cannon correctly?

Myth #5: Goldfinger
