Just how hard IS it to find a needle in a haystack? Can you in fact go insane by having water drip on your forehead? These are just a few of the myths, urban legends, and improbable sayings that the Mythbusters try to figure out. Comprised of special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Heineman - as well as their motley crew of Mythbuilders, Mythterns, and resident crash test dummy Buster - they don't just tell the myths, they put them to the test to see which ones are possible, and which ones are just plain bunk.</description><language>en</language><docs>http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification</docs><webMaster>webmaster@blinkx.com (blinkx webmaster)</webMaster><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:27:24 +0000</pubDate><lastBuildDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:27:24 +0000</lastBuildDate><image><url>http://tv.blinkx.comhttp://cdn.blinkx.com/store/images/video/b/09/TVShows/7da880c8ca9c77ef74e0f84953b527d6.jpg</url><title>Watch Full Episodes of MythBusters Online</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/mythbusters/wgdZ9f4FxZued7kD9u9HKw</link></image><item><title>Myth Evolution</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/mythbusters/LDrBUJRwNSZrWp4DGr9vgdiMo_M#s7e18</link><description>Mythbusters : Myth Evolution</description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Crash and Burn</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/mythbusters/LDrBUJRwNSZrWp4DGr9vgdiMo_M#s7e17</link><description>Mythbusters : Crash and Burn</description><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Hurricane Windows</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/mythbusters/LDrBUJRwNSZrWp4DGr9vgdiMo_M#s7e16</link><description>On this cold and blustery episode, Adam and Jamie bet the house on a highly contentious hurricane survival tale in "Hurricane Windows" - open or closed?

Shrouded in secrecy and mythology, not to mention cult popularity, ninjas are perfect fodder for the MythBusters. The whole team joins forces to pit science against martial arts mystique. Can ninjas run on water as movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would have us believe? In "Walking on Water," Adam, Jamie and a ninjitsu master try their luck at aquatic agility. And if that doesn't work, the boys get confrontational as they compete to see how ninjas — masters of illusion — could create the impression of water running. In "Samurai Swing," Kari, Tory and Grant find out if a ninja could stop a samurai sword with his bare hands. To avoid the sharp sting of steel the team devises a ninja rig to clap onto the sword, and it seems like this myth is all in the timing.

Meanwhile, Grant, Tory and Kari become crime scene investigators. A photo found on the Net shows a speedboat impaled on a channel marker, almost neatly split in half. In an effort to get to the bottom of this watery fender bender, our intrepid CSI team goes on a high-speed joyride.
