The Mythbusters Young Scientists Special will premier on the Science Channel and Science Channel HD on Saturday, April 26th at 8PM ET/PT. This is actually going to be a very cool special as these young scientists are up and coming and have already won numerous awards. The young scientists that will be busting some myths with the Mythbusters team include Discovery Channel’s 2007 Young Scientist Challenge winner Erik Gustafson as well as the three finalists.
The young scientists will be testing some green myths such as whether or not greenhouse gases really do make Earth warmer. Adam, Jamie and Brandon will test with some of the students whether electric cars are more sluggish than cars that are driven with gasoline. I’ve never actually heard that myth so I’ll be excited to see how this one works. Then to get to the stinky side of it all Alyssa and Catherine get to test to see if methane gas from cows are really bad for the planet or if it can be used as an alternative fuel.
This will be a must watch for me. I cant wait to see the students reactions and excitement.

Actually, I want to address something now. I call you idiots because you are bothersome. I don’t know your intellectual capacities so I have no basis to talk. Neither did you, but you continued to tread those dangerous waters.

Prem,
“Accused” nothing. I have the email direct from this blog’s notification service showing that you posted a comment accusing me of being Michael. That was why I responded to you.
If you really have done anything, you wouldn’t need to spend so much time bragging. You’re a sad child with delusions of competence, nothing more. Run along and cry to your mommy, little man.

Ok i’m not going to make any arguments at this point (i’ve been out of the picture for a while). I just want to suggest that you guys take note of the name Prem Thottumkara, and in thiry or forty years search his name, just to see what you find. Who knows, maybe you guys were right. Maybe nothing will come up in your search. I, however, am 98% sure that, if you choose to do this, you will take back your suggestions that he is nothing more than a sad, delusional child.
Please don’t reply with an argument. It’s only a suggestion. I am currently out of the argument; I do not wish to rejoin it.

Brandon,
I’ll be sure to keep an eye on the registries of all the local psych wards just for him.
I wish I could say it’s been fun… but nothing disappoints me quite as much as meeting pure, unadulterated proof that our education system has utterly failed to produce minds capable of real scientific inquiry. If you collectively represent the “best” of our next generation, we’re in for a terrible 30 or 40 years.

Really Mike? I will also be sure to try to find myself somewhere in that time. At that point though, I will likely be successful, rich, and dancing on your grave.
Mary-Don’t comment. That wasn’t a threat. That was an insult.
Mike-Answer my damn questions.
