Why I love Mythbusters

Sure, Mythbusters is cool because its skepical and sciencey and because they tackle fun myths and urban legends and idioms. Sure I enjoy the dynamic between laconic, dour Jamie and hyper dorky, exuberant Adam. But really, I love Mythbusters because they are my people.

Emily and I were just saying the other day how we wished Adam was on Twitter. Last night, I learned that he is! And it’s through his twitter account that I found this…

It’s a painted reproduction of the map from Time Bandits that Adam made when he was 19 by freezing a frame on his VHS copy of the movie. THAT’S why I love Mythbusters.
