On occasion, we at 'MythBusters' come across stories we want to test that require using a pig carcass to simulate human physiology.
We're not friends - in fact, we pretty much as a rule irritate each other. But we've learnt to embrace it and use it as a strength... the other guy's always seeing something from the opposite pole.
I love Tim Curry as the Devil in 'Legend;' the prosthetics that are on him are so over the top sensually evil, and Tim takes full advantage, is just oozing with the role. The makeup and prosthetics, and his character are seamless.
I grew up on an apple orchard with a lot of surrounding wooded area, and I ran everywhere. I was outside all the time climbing trees.
We are seeing robotics creep into all areas and become accessible, where it used to be something tedious that only the most persistent people could access.
At its core, what we do in 'MythBusters' is turn science into an adventure.
I think it's probably safe to say that continuing our onscreen relationship in front of the camera is probably not happening. I expect Adam may well pursue things in front of the camera, but I'm most likely not. It's not who I am.
As it turns out, one of the biggest choices we have doing the show is deciding the tangents we are allowed to take, the stuff that we see along the way. We're allowed to explore the world at large on these things; the urban-legend aspect of it is just kind of an excuse.
The daily work on special effects is fairly mundane.
A lot of mythology surrounds British inventor Geoffrey Pyke. He supposedly made people come to his bedside to see his designs because getting up and getting dressed took too long.

In my case, the only thing to note is if I show up at home at an unusual time, it's cause for raising my wife's blood pressure because it only happens if... usually that involves stitches.
After working as a charter boat captain and dive master in the Caribbean for a number of years, I decided it was time for a change.
Now that I'm not a puppet for some director, the Hyneman is free to explore the world at large.
Algae are such basic, simple organisms.
I'm a little suspicious of using microwaves.
Over the years, we've developed a respect for each other in the roles that we play and we rely on that difference to recreate clarity for the audience.
We've got a great deal of respect for each other on camera as well as off, no matter what it might occasionally look like.
I really didn't think this was going to be a success. We did the first three episodes and I said to Adam, 'I can't see this going anywhere. I've already used up all my urban legends.'
Is there some situation where square wheels would be better than round wheels? Sure! A round wheel has a pressure point directly under the tire. A square wheel's corners are going to bite and propel you forward. The square wheel could be superior on snow or mud or sand.
