Chinese Invasion Alarm

Synopsis:
The MythBusters take a pot shot at an ancient Chinese text that alludes to a subterranean sonar system that could apparently detect and intercept an invasion from below. And watch Adam and Jamie test out a myth that millions of hungry Americans invoke every day — if it's been on the floor for less than five seconds, is it really safe to eat?



Myths & Outcomes:
Myth #1: Chinese Invasion Alarm
The MythBusters challenge an ancient Chinese text that refers to an underground sonar system that could supposedly detect an invasion.

Myth #2: Five-Second Rule
We've been waiting for this one... If dropped food has been on the floor for less than five seconds, is it safe to eat?
