MythBusters guys to experiment with you
Are elephants really afraid of mice? Will mixing beer with liquor make you sick? If you flung feces into a fan, would it go everywhere?
TV's MythBusters duo counted on audience participation Saturday night at the USF Sun Dome. That "hitting the fan" situation is one of nearly 700 myths they've tackled since the show's 2003 premiere.
"MythBusters: Behind the Myths" is an evening of on-stage experiments, audience participation, and behind-the-scenes stories. With this show, for the first time, fans join Jamie and Adam on stage and assist in their mind-blowing and mind-twisting approach to science.
During "MythBusters: Behind the Myths" the audence became face-to-face with the curious world of Jamie and Adam as the duo matches wits on stage with each other and members of the audience. Last winter and spring, the show performed a 28-city national tour.
One of the Discovery Channel's most highly regarded and watched series, "MythBusters" is now in its ninth season. The co-hosts "mix scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity" to create their own signature style of not-your-typical-classroom experimentation. The guys are able to support or debunk urban myths.
