Some info:

MythBusters is a popular science television program produced by Australian firm Beyond Television Productions[1] originally for the Discovery Channel in the United States. The series has since been picked up by a number of international broadcasters, including SBS in Australia, and BBC2 in the UK. The series stars American special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who use basic elements of the scientific method to test the validity of various rumors, urban legends, myths and news stories in popular culture.
Filming for MythBusters is based in San Francisco, California, though some elements of production are done in Artarmon, Australia. Planning and some experimentation usually takes place at the cast's workshops; experiments that require more space or special accommodations are filmed on location, typically around the Bay Area. During the second season, several members of Savage and Hyneman's team ("The Build Team") were split off into a second team of MythBusters, and now typically test separate myths from the main duo.

So. You're minding your own business, filling up your gas tank, when your cell phone rings. Hmmm. Should you answer it? Because you've heard you shouldn't use cell phones near gas stations since they can produce small sparks that can ignite big fires.

But wait. Could that actually be true?

Sounds like a job for MythBusters!

It's a tough job separating truth from urban legend, but the MythBusters are here to serve. Each week special-effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take on three myths and use modern-day science to show you what's real and what's fiction.
That's right, they do more than explain how something may or may not be scientifically possible. Through trial and error they actually demonstrate it.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Maybe we can make bombs out of Mentos one day. :p

(btw TH, the video wasn't deleted, it's just that bug (or whatever it is) where hotlinking doesn't work.)
