Who are these Mythbusters?
The Mythbusters are a talented team of people who combine science, robotics, engineering, ballistics gel, explosives, and many other ingredients, to test urban myths. The main on-screen members of the team are Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Kari Byron, Grant Imahara, and Tory Belleci.
Adam Savage says this is his favorite myth explosion yet!
The guys test the old movie cliche where a bad guy lays a line of black powder leading to a full powder keg, lights the line, which burns up to the keg like a fuse, and the keg explodes. Ka-boom! Adam shows off some of his goofy accents and his sense of humor. Even Jamie seems to be enjoying himself! This is a really fun segment.

Rob Lee (US Narrator): For this cooking lesson, Adam will need the fire suit, and it's safety masks all around. So, just like gumbo night at Adam's.

Want to put together a Jamie Hyneman costume?
or just look super-cool down at the warehouse-special effects lab
Jamie Hyneman is known for his dark beret and always-clean white shirt, layered over a dark long sleeve tee. Roll up the sleeves on the white shirt a bit, and match the tops with some tan pants and red Chuck Taylor shoes.
How about an Adam Savage costume?
Adam Savage typically sports black jeans and a black short sleeve shirt. Sometimes the shirt is a black polo, and sometimes it's a plain black tee. Sometimes the black tee has a printed slogan. Adam also wears black framed glasses, and his hat of choice is an Indiana Jones style fedora. Here are some suggested pieces, to get you in the Adam Savage groove.

- I really enjoy this show - I sometimes use it as the basis for my children's science lessons. So much more interesting for children to see science in action like this!
