Other “myths” that Mythbusters should check out:
- Politicians only use 1% of their brain.
- The stock market is a reasonable way to generate wealth.
- Is it squeezing or rubbing that causes things to get hot on reentry? Why does that sound exciting?
- Science and its methods provide absolute proof. Scientists are always right, even when they’re talking total crap. They are most correct when shouting.
- Do bears vote in Canada? And do they vote for the Blog Party?
Feel free to add your own myths in the comments.

Only in the same way that Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste is actually Pro-Health. Get it?

Is Kari Byron really that hot, or are we just like vegans at a sausagefest?

Does a beret and self-constructed spectacles increase your IQ just by donning them? And if so, why do I not feel any smarter?

1% is generous.
I believe scientists are always right. Science has proven that 10 out of 10 scientists believe that they are always right, so it must be true. Right?

@ Quizzling, I’d like to see that tested as well.
Christmas albums can cause brain tumors… its just a theory I have, that I’d really like proven.

Quizzling — I’m uncomfortable with the term “sausagefest”.
Cardinalfang — your comment provoked the question, and in regards to the beret/spectacles issue, I believe it has the effect of either:
a) increasing your ennui to the point where Edith Piaf songs sound good, or,
b) give you the uncontrollable urge to institute the dictatorship of the proletariat.
C. Fraser — I believe studies show scientists are only right half the time, no matter how loudly they yell.
Alex — let’s use politicians as test subjects.
