Blown Away. The build team checks out two different myths during this episode. In the first, they try to see if being shot with a gun can really send you flying. A pig carcass does the honors, and it seems that being shot by just about everything has no noticeable effect on the 180-pound weight, barely causing a ripple. So how do those actors fly through the air, windows and even walls? Usually with the help of cranes or ropes of some kind. Busted.
Brown Note. Meanwhile, the primary myth tests for the existence of the mythical brown note, wherein a really low musical note (we’re talking the single digits here) is rumored to cause your insides to really move. Luckily for everyone, it seems that just isn’t the case. Busted.
Chinese Water Torture. The final myth was to test out water torture. If someone were to tie you up and drip water on your forehead, is it really all that bad? The answer to this one is a resounding yes! It likely isn’t due quite so much to the water but the fact that you’re bound and can’t get away. Anyone with a younger sibling who continuously says “I’m not touching you” probably knew this already. Confirmed.
