Six fan-requested fables are put to the test, including whether an engraved coconut can be sent through the mail and whether a match can be lit with a bullet.
Are soda cans contaminated by rat pee? Does your cell phone have more germs than a toilet? Can a sports car skip across a lake a la The Cannonball Run?
If one bullet is fired and another is dropped simultaneously from the same height, will they hit the ground at the same time? Is it possible to knock someone out of their socks?
See what happens when you combine thermite, a chemical that burns at almost 2,000 degrees, with ice. And can a stereo set off a rifle with its vibrations?
Is the movie Speed just fake film physics? Will a car dropped from 4,000 feet fall faster than a speeding car? Is the compact conundrum of a two-truck head-on collision a myth?
