This pic is AWESOME.
No sir, the correct word is EPIC!!!
After veiwing this picuter, I feel I can die in peace.
EPIC INDEED!
On an EPICness scale of 1 to 10, this painting goes right up to 12!
Major kudos and respec’ to the painter.
Dittoes, dittoes and MORE dittoes. Epic, awesome, un-frackin’ believable. No words can adequately describe the level of unlimited cool that is this work of art. I SO need a poster of this!
on that scale i’ say AVATAR gets around….24?
Ok, Avatar was good, even epic. But dude…MYTHBUSTERS….different dimensions. Avatar blew stuff up to save the world. These awesome mythbusters blow stuff up…for science…
#@$%. YES.
Hey…does Adam have SIX fingers on his left hand???!!!!
That’s the butt of the pistol’s handle… But I see where the confusion could occur.
BUSTED!
I am Inigo Montoya. You busted my father. Prepare to die.
Say that to my CHICKEN CANNON!!
A man with 6 fingers on one hand, INCONCEIVABLE!
I see you have six fingers on your left hand. Someone’s been looking for you.
Anyone know if you can get a poster of this?
Ahhh. Now I see it better. Crappy PRK surgery. *blush*
MYTH-BUSTERS!
Science in disguise!
Look on deviantart.com. If you find it you can probably buy a print of it.
I found it there, but with a note saying it came from somewhere else.
Science is easy when you get to just make sh*t up and call it “scientific”.
none of it is made up, clearly you don’t watch the show
Yeah, he’s definitely never seen the show or he’d know he was talking out of his ass.
i kinda get the feel that idiot’s a creationist
What? Good grief, do you really think creationists are not interested in science? Sounds like Charlie Oscar Delta should look into creationism JUST a wee bit, then come back and tell us how creationists WOULDN’T be interested in this show? They are two different “types” of research.
Mythbusters deals with empirical science and the scientific method, not forensic science (which is what creationism and evolutionism are)…google if you don’t know what forensic science is. I am NOT talking about CSI, just in case you were wondering.
so, do a little bit of reading, Charlie. find out what the creationists are into. Know your subject, eh, before posting a stupid comment like this.
Typical line from a creationist – “But Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is only a theory”. I think that proves all you need to know about how interested creationists are in science.
hm, I don’t see that line anywhere in my comments. hm.
Like I said, google “empirical science” and find out just exactly how much “empirical science” is involved in evolutionary or creationist research. And quit using straw man fallacy. Making up a “line” that “typical” creationists use, and applying it to THIS discussion doesn’t prove anything except that you don’t really know how to discuss things.
The word empirical denotes information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment. A central concept in science and the scientific method is that all evidence must be empirical, or empirically based, that is, dependent on evidence or consequences that are observable by the senses. It is usually differentiated from the philosophic usage of empiricism by the use of the adjective “empirical” or the adverb “empirically.” “Empirical” refers to the use of working hypotheses that are testable using observation or experiment. In this sense of the word, scientific statements are subject to and derived from our experiences or observations. Empirical data are data that are produced by experiment or observation.
None of which actually devalues the use of theoretical science, for example, in producing ideas to test empirically. Or alters the empirical fact that every other creationist I’ve ever talked to has said things like I quoted, as an argument that “Darwin must be wrong because his theory hasn’t been proven”, rather than “this is unprovable, but it’s the best explanation we’ve got of how species change over generations”, and the fact that species do change over generations has been empirically proven. Try web searchs for “Gregor Mendel” and/or “fruitflies” if you don’t believe me.
In point of fact, unless you believe the Bible to be literal truth, Darwinian evolution works quite well as one of the mechanisms of creation.
Darwinism IS “only” a theory; creationism, too. And always will be, since the way to prove a theory is through duplicatable experimentation, observation of results, etc.
Evolution (that is, survival of the fittest and natural selection) IS the best explanation for how species CHANGE…but no matter how many fruit flies are mutated, genetically altered through exposure, etc…they are still fruit flies. And yes, even fruit flies that adapt to exist on flesh over generations. Still fruit flies, not house flies, not gnats, not any other type of fly.
The main beef creationism has with Darwinism is the belief that species become increasingly complex over eons, and that a type of animal (fish) over time changes to another type (amphibian) They are separate types, and even unnatural selection (breeding a horse with a donkey) produces non-fertile offspring, (Mules are all non-fertile) hence not a new TYPE of animal, because it can’t pass its genes to a next generation.
it’s worth pointing out that evolution is not a guided process, nor is it a strive towards complexity or perfection it is random mutation that provides an alteration that luck would have it help the creature to survive.
To give an example of an animal evolving to be less complex many species of fish and insects that have grown used to living in caves have become blind over generations. Spiders and fish that expended energy to grow eye’s and attempt to use them often died compared to others which had a defect that ment their eye’s did’nt grow at all, in order to survive they became reliant on other senses and survived.
In conclusion argueing that species or unable to change from one to another relies on human definition, humans have a tendency to want to group things however this is not a hard and fast science and many alterations have been made to how animals should be grouped. Their are many fish that secrete oxygen rich goo so they can survive on land for periods of time (such as when a swamp dried up), although we still define them as fish they are different from other fish and it is possible to prove that this is a relativly new development, it is possible that they could be redefined amphibians later in the future but scientists are unlikely to do so because the most people would’nt care.
How many schools still teach that pluto is a planet, it has’nt changed but our definition of planet has and as such it no longer qualifies. who’s to say the opposite could’nt occur where a species DOES change and yet peoples acknowledgement of it’s current grouping no longer being applicable may take years to alter. This does’nt make evolution wrong but merely people will see what they want to see.
No, hun, creationism is NOT a theory, it isn’t even a hypothesis. It does not meet the standards to be considered scientific in any way, shape, or form. Creationism is ignorance at face value, a simple admission that you don’t know and thus attribute the explanation to god.
We have created new species, sweetie. We have created new creatures that can breed with each other and are not fertile with the ‘parent stock’. We’ve proven that aspect of evolution already. Learn something before you spout off next time.

Chapter.
Blood Ravens.
C-c-c-c-combo breaker!
Novel
Are they both left handed?
There’s a problem with the poster… there’s no walrus in it.
I would just like to take this opportunity to point to Jamie’s mustache.
Guns, explosions, women…
Three things we don’t have nearly enough of in science.
Get thee to Girl Genius.
Mythbusters will be back in Mythbusters: Thunderballs
Thinking the same thing.
I note two obvious Bond movie references.
Kari being Honey Rider.
The boat jump being Thunderball.
It was for the Bond special, actually.
I think Kari’s outfit is more like Jinx in Die Another Day than Honey in Dr No.
I’m thinking the designer just picked a red swimsuit because it matched Kari’s hair.
Adam
Jamie
Tori
Kari
Grant
Apart, they’re just 5 ordinary geeks:
Together they are the Mythbusters!!
mythbusters rocks my socks.
and Kari is lookin’ hott.
When is Kari not looking hot?
Anyone else think Adam has Michael Keaton’s eyebrows?
It’s Awesome-Epic!!! ZOMG Words cannot describe!
Unless they’re both left-handed, this image is reversed. And Tory and Grant are much better looking than mere villians. They could be M and Q.
They really don’t go very deep, scientifically speaking, do they? But this painting is a hoot.
Investigating whether or not an Urban Myth is plausible doesn’t actually require the same scientific rigour as finding the Higgs Boson.
They already found a Boson. Kari’s.
Artist for illustration is Steven Chorney; appears it was done for a cover of Discovery magazine. You may be able to get this print with some googling.
I actually found an email address, and he actually responded:
Sorry Red-
Wish I could help …there are no posters as of yet.
Everyday people ask.
Steve

Subject: From StevenChorney.com :: How to buy your pictures?
> Your Mythbusters Discover magizine cover just hit the icanhascheezeburger web ring. People are asking how to buy it. Is it available?
>
damn.
I wonder how many requests the Mythbusters get to make the poster?
(adds to the count)
Tory looks kinda chubby in this picture…or is it just me?
Kari looks like a dude because she’s just way too skinny in this pic. In RL, she’s got nice curves.
If science had been that cool…you would have failed since they get so much wrong. Loading something with C4 to see what it looks like when it explodes is NOT science.
Bill, when confronted with the doomsday alien reactor core, and you only have 3 pieces of C4, and you dont know if you need 1,2 or all 3, then you will regret your words dearly.
No, but figuring out that what kills fish in a barrel when you shoot them is overpressure, not the bullet is. Shooting the fvck out of a barrel with a Gatling minigun afterwards is fun for geeks and kids.
I want to have this painted on my wall.
Sheer awesome. They should use this for a DVD cover.
EPIC!!!! Btw… isnt Kari a “MILFbuster” now?
… and of course its science to see how if a water heater can explode and launch itself through your roof…
… and a couple of hundred feet into the air afterwards…
Now if only we could get Kari to dress like that on mythbusters all the time
Word.
I love watching them when i turn on my TV once in awhile.
EPIC WIN
