Rented it for $10... and it's dripping on me! God knows what's in this water.

[Adam is working on creating a full-size dummy out of ballistics gel.]

[After a microwaved jawbreaker was put in the metal teeth which caused it to explode, injuring Christine] So, the MythBusters have conclusively proved that jawbreaker plus microwave plus steel teeth equals scalded MythTern.

In Monterey Bay, Ping-Pong ball plus sea otter equals jail time for at least some member of the crew, I think we'll have to draw straws to figure out who.

[Tory tries a second test of the boom-lift.]

All right, I'm gonna count down...49, 48... just kidding. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
