"I was a hitman, I wasn't the money counter." I love it when Jamie plays along with Adams shenanigans.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that line was most probably fed to him by the producers. Cause in one of the early behind the scenes special episodes of the mythbusters, you'll see scenes like that where the producers will pause the scene after Adam says something funny and tells Jamie to answer with a particular reply. That one episode ruined the show for me

I feel like the phone book one is confirmed because it said that it’s basically impossible to separate them and if you have to get 2 tanks to separate them then that is an extreme nobody can do. Getting 2 tanks to do it is basically the definition of ‘basically impossible’

Obviously the phonebooks are not completely impossible to pull apart from each other, but the amount of friction they create is just so strong that anything even remotely close to functional won't do it.

I've been watching the full series again, and I have to say, I think Jamie had a sense of humor that Adam just didn't understand. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Adam Savage, but I think he got irritated a lot when Jamie was trying to be funny. Also, I'd imagine Adam's ADHD didn't help matters much either.

In the 21st century, printed phone books are increasing criticized as waste. In 2012, after some North America cities passed laws banning the distribution of telephone books, industry group sued and obtained a court rulling permitting the distribution to continue. In 2010, manufacture and distribution of phone books produced over 1,400,000 metric tons of greenhouse gasses and consumed over 600,000 tons of paper annually.

I'm here to comment about grocery store line, the serpentine one u need to put 2 people in the casher so after the one there's one coming and no time to waste, try to re-create it and use 2 people each cashier after the one leave the next one and then the other one come so no time wasted by just walking...this is not debatable this is my only opinion...
