So exactly how hard is it to find a needle in a haystack, anyway? And can water dripping on your forehead really drive you nuts?

7 Bullet Baloney 43 min | Feb 22, 2014

11 Commercial Myths 46 min | Jul 24, 2014

The MythBusters go to vertigo-inducing heights to test: Could you bob for an apple when jumping from a 100-foot high bungee cord? And from a viral video, could you really play a match of tennis while both players are standing on top of an airplane's wing?
