On the television show, MythBusters, popular myths are put to the test by two well-known model-builders, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. At the end of each episode, the myth is confirmed, labeled plausible, or busted. For instance, during a memorable episode Hyneman and Savage tried to determine whether you could swim as fast in syrup as you could in water. In order to test this myth, they built a special swimming tank and had Adam swim in water and then in syrup. After many trials, they determined that the myth was “busted.”
