Title: Watch Mythbusters tonight! Ninja! MegaByte!
Post by: MegaByte on April 25, 2007, 06:35:09 AM: Shameless self-promotion time!

Tonight at 9 (ET/PT), Mythbusters is having an hour long special covering various ninja myths. The martial arts in which I train are derived from those practiced by the samurai and ninja. Since Mythbusters' production studio is based in San Francisco, they tracked down my instructor, who happens to be top-ranked in the art (and it turned out that our dojo was literally around the corner from their studio) to do consulting. I don't know of everything that's going to be included in the show, but they did film three parts involving him, and one of those parts was shot while we were training, so I should be in the background at some point. It sounds like it'll be a fun show... I think they've got AskANinja on there as well. Watch it if you can.

My Myth idea: Is it possible to learn stuff while you're asleep?
ie. learn spanish by playing the courses over and over again through headphones while you sleep.
Quit smoking by playing anti-smoking messages while you sleep.

Post by: vudu on April 27, 2007, 06:44:50 AM: So are you actually in the episode? If so, where? I don't really want to watch an entire 43 minute episode in hopes of seeing you for a couple seconds.
