Myths: Busted or Confirmed?
Myth 1:
One can be killed by dropping an electrical appliance into a bath full of water.
CONFIMRED
The electrocution effect is increased if the appliance drops farther from the drain or if the water has more salt in it (for example, if there is urine or bath salts in the tub).
Myth 2
Double-dipping is the equivalent of putting your whole mouth right in the dip.
BUSTED
The amount of microbes that come from double dipping is nothing compared to the number of microbes that are already in the dip just from being out.
Myth 3
A person can be subconsciously influenced into yawning if another nearby person yawns.
CONFIMRED
In three separate tests, the Mythbusters determined that one person's yawning can subconsciously influence others
Myth 4
A person will be propelled violently backwards if hit by a bullet.
BUSTED
A bullet does not have enough momentum to knock the target person backwards.
Myth 5
Farting can be induced by consuming beans.
CONFIMRED
In the tests, Adam's rate of flatulence doubled after eating a diet of beans for a day.
