REPEAT

Several previously explored myths are being retested in a more extensive fashion in this episode. Can a Ninja really catch a flying bullet with his bare hands? Using a robot with an artificial hand trying to 'slap' the bullet at twice the possible human speed, this myth is tested. Dr David Priest from 3T MRI allows Kari to go through with an MRI while having a radio frequency identification device implanted in her upper arm. Fortunately, she does not lose her arm as predicted by her fellow hosts. A robot is fitted with rubber hands and an airbag is exploded several times.

REPEAT

The gang tests the truth behind some time-honoured sayings and conventional wisdom. Is it really "as simple as shooting fish in a barrel"? Are elephants truly scared of mice? And what is the best cure for a hot chilli tongue? Adam and Jamie take on the first by purchasing a variety of fish from the market and affixing batteries to their bodies to simulate movement. The pair also attempts to find out if elephants are in fact afraid of the much smaller (and harmless) mice. Meanwhile Tory, Kari, and Grant test the myth that milk is really the best cure for a chilli mouth? In order to do so, the trio sets about eating hot chillies then swilling milk, water, beer, alcoholic spirits, toothpaste and even wasabi paste
