Thrift stores spotted today on Mythbusters!

[Jay2TheRescue]

The Mythbusters went shopping at Thrift Town to buy dishes to test the "Bull in a china shop" myth.  (myth busted)  They also bought a stove at a thrift store earlier in the episode, but didn't mention where.  The Mythbusters are great thrifters.

Cool!

How can you bust the "Bull in a china shop" myth?  It's a figure of speech, not a myth.  I can't imagine how they set it up, but the only way to do it would be to bring a pissed-off rodeo bull to a Lennox China showroom, as it stands, and then let him go.  He'd see his reflection in the glass show cases, and the place would be a shambles.

But MYTHBUSTERS rocks, there is no doubt.

That is all.

They set up a bunch of shelves with dishes and pottery up in aisles in a fenced in area.  Then let a bull in.  Only 1 shelf fell (and it was wobbling anyway before the test).  Then they let another bull in, and no shelves fell, then a third bull.  Finally they let 3 or 4 in at the same time and still no more shelves fell.

I would have expected more/better from Jamie and Adam.

I would have thought that they would have rented an actual store front, loaded it with china and breakables in actual showcases, with aisles for people (not bulls) and let it go.  I can see that they wouldn't want the bull hurt from broken glass and whatnot, but I've felt like a bull in a china shop, and I'm no where near as big as a bull (but I am a Taurus, as was indicated on my "Thrift-o-Scope Zodiac-o-Matic" post).

Anyway, MYTHBUSTERS still rocks.

That is all.
