Keen-eyed observers will note that the guys are actually standing on the bridge they're trying to destroy. Confidence in Tesla's machine isn't exactly sky high.
Neither Jamie or I give a high percentage of anything actually occurring out here, nonetheless MythBusters is nothing if not a compendium of ways in which Jamie and I have been wrong.
I'll do the lava lamps.
I'll do the stove.
[pauses] ...I'll do the math.
RLRob Lee
While Grant calculates with what to do with his day off...
A theory is that the shock of cold water will— [lava lamp suddenly explodes]
[Laughs] You should have seen the look on your face, it was priceless.
[commenting on the penetrating power of piano wire on the palm tree] Hey, what do you think? You think we can get that [piano] wire to go all the way through an engine block?
Cool, we get to torture yogurt!
I love hearing big sounds in the next room.
