So...as should be pretty obvious by now...I like Mythbusters, the Discovery Channel show. A lot.
As should also be even more obvious, the show has inspired one of the most thorough fandoms in the history of teh interwebz. When the official site gives a link to the Wiki, it's pretty much game over.
Never let it be said, however, that we here @ Shoe Central are daunted by intellectual ubiquity...well, we are, generally, but not in this case. Because we have come up with a bold new angle from which we are reasonably certain the show has never been approached before: We don't care about the science stuff.
Really. This holds true for many aspects of our lives (got any jokes about intelligent design? Keep 'em to yourself). We like to be told about the science stuff, mind; it falls under the general heading of How the World Really Works, aka Huh, Never Would've Thought of That, and this fascinates us in perpetuity regardless of subject. It is in fact a major reason why we are likewise fascinated with history, also why it took us so long to realise that watching Dirty Jobs involved way too many excrement-based professions for comfort.
