Ep 31. Top 25 Almost Special

In season 6 episode 31 of the popular show MythBusters, the team reflects on some of their favorite almost-myths over the course of the series. The episode is aptly titled "Top 25 Almost Special" and features 25 segments that never quite made it to full myth status, but were still fascinating and entertaining to explore.

Throughout the episode, hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman revisit some of the most memorable moments from their experiments that just missed the mark. Viewers are treated to a mix of funny, exciting, and downright bizarre segments that didn't quite make it into full episodes, but still show off the creativity and scientific prowess of the MythBusters team.

One segment features Adam and Jamie trying to determine whether it's really possible to create a pool ball that's both weighed and balanced perfectly. They also revisit their attempt to use a car's windshield to amplify sound in a way that could shatter glass, and take a humorous look back at an experiment that involved firing a cannonball through a house (with unexpected results).

Another segment sees the team exploring the world of "mythternatives" - possible myths that didn't make it to the show for one reason or another. These include theories about the supposed "correct" way to stand when using a urinal, and whether it's possible to make a green banana peel edible.

Fans of the show will also enjoy revisiting some of the more offbeat myths that never quite panned out. These include an attempt to see whether it's truly possible to cook an egg using only a newspaper, and an investigation into whether a human voice can really shatter glass.

Other segments in the episode focus on exploring some of the stranger aspects of popular myths from earlier in the series. For example, the team revisits its attempt to recreate walking on water, as well as its investigation into whether an explosion could really launch someone into the air like a cartoon character.

Throughout the episode, Adam and Jamie provide their trademark commentary and humor, as they reflect on some of their favorite memories from the show's history. While these experiments may not have made it to full myth status, they still showcase the ingenuity and creativity of the MythBusters team, and provide plenty of laughs and entertainment for fans of the show.
