Mythbusters tested it once, I remember that.
I believe you're right! I had almost forgotten that, shame on me! If all else fails, you can always count on good ole' Adam and Jamey! If more of my Science students had cable/satellite, I'd make watching "Mythbusters" a requirement to pass my class! That's my biggest obstacle-getting students to overcome the generational myths and wives' tales that they've grown up with...and their parents, grandparents an great-grandparents grew up with...just long enough to get them to participate in class. They don't want to believe ME; I'm not on television, after all.
