EPISODE TITLE: Alaskan Myths

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: April 23, 2008

SYNOPSIS: The MythBusters go to Alaska to test the biggest, snowy-est, icy-est myths around.
Myths Features in This Episode

Myth #1: Dynamite Dog
Some drunk guys were in Alaska and one of them just got a new SUV. They were trying to go fishing in a lake that was several feet frozen over. One of the guys lights a stick of dynamite and throws it. The dog, thinking it's a stick, chases after it and takes it right underneath the car. The dynamite, along with the dog, blows up, sinking the SUV under the ice.


Myth #2: Moose Mayhem
If you are driving in Alaska and you are about to hit a moose, you and your car will get less damage if you speed up than if you slow down.

Myth #3: Cabin Fever
Can staying in a cabin in the middle of an Alaskan winter make you totally lose your mind?

Best Quotes by the MythBusters:

  • Adam - "Like most of our favorite myths, this one involves some drunken friends and explosives."
  • Narator - "Fans of slapstick should appreciate the, heh heh, breakthrough moment."
  • Jamie - "As you can see, he's rearing to go. He really wants to fetch that stick of dynamite."
Narrator - "And has no idea what he's signed up for."
  • Grant - "I'm not sure whats wierder: that the moose is in the middle of downtown at a bar, or that its only like 1:30."
  • Kari - "Look he's going to the mall!"
  • Jamie - "Well you're already a little nuts. How are we gonna tell the difference?"
  • Kari - "Comming up on Mythbusters, does Jamie sleep with his berret on? Or off?"
  • Torry - "You know this is probably the first time we used buster for what he was intended for."
Grant - "This is a historic moment!"
  • Adam - "I forgot to try the tabasco sauce on it."
Narrator - "Yes charming"
  • Adam - "Well its clear from the hole pattern I see around the car, that we've got a nasty case of ice gophers. These little varmits will bore their way around any vehicle they find on the ice, so they can chew on it underwater. There's only one way to take care of them, and that's high explosives."
  • Jamie - "3... 2... 1... Bye, bye!"
  • Adam - "No more SUV!"
Jamie - "It went bye, bye."
