Confirmed: Adam Savage of Mythbusters is a big Skeptic
I've always thought Mythbusters was a fairly good scientific/rationale show (although they tend to like to blow up stuff more than is necessary) and while I haven't listened to this interview yet, its really nice to see someone of this high public profile talk about the importance of skepticism.

3. it's not
I thought I had misread, but you confirmed that that weird statement was made.

OTOH, about 20 years ago, I made a trade with someone. I was managing a pizza place, and we traded a large with everything for a bag of fireworks. Turned out to be a BIG bag of fireworks. I actually got tired of blowing stuff up, something that's only happened once in my life.
