w00t! I'm on Mythbusters!

Today, I volunteered to partake in a Mythbusters experiment on pain threshhold @_@. So I went over to SF, where they shoot the show, and got to explore the place I see on TV each week. I don't know if my footage will make it to air, but if it does, I'm sure it'll just be part of a quick montage of all the participants. I spent only a short time ( Read more... )

Haha, how fun~
So uh... experiment on pain threshold?? XD Or are you not allowed to tell us about the details yet?

Hm, I don't think the paper I signed said I *couldn't* talk about it. Then again, they didn't tell me the entire myth anyways, only what they'd need me to do. Behind Adam and I, there's a chair I sat in. There's also a clock-timer and a fishbowl of ice water. I had to keep my hand spread in there as long as I could. Yeah...I don't think I even lasted a minute! Haha, I might've lasted longer if I'd been allowed to fidget and curse!

I noted that it was all male volunteers. Earlier, I believe they also did a callout for women volunteers who'd given natural childbirth. So I suspect it's a test of pain threshhold of mothers vs men.
