Mythbusters interviewed on Slashdot

Alright, I know I'm venturing into the domain of Dr. Joe, but I know there's a lot of Mythbusters fans lingering around here on CD. I figured I'd pass along this interview they had on Slashdot that I found pretty interesting:

Re: Mythbusters interviewed on Slashdot

I just read the interview and I have to say that that is awesome. I always watch the show and it is cool to get some insight into their thoughts.

FYI: Something I have aways thought to be really cool about my team
(1766) is that we are based and operated in the high school that Jamie Hyneman went to.

Re: Mythbusters interviewed on Slashdot

I'd Love a chance to meet those guys... Jaime, Grant, Adam.... all of them . I'm the current mentor/coach for 1923 (if any of them read this!)

Of course being a physics teacher I would have some things to say about their show and certain things they don't get quite right.... like their depiction of protons moving when they made their own van de graff generator . But I can forgive that
