Dale Seago on mythbusters

[Baio]

Surprised no one brought up that dale would be dispelling ninja myths on mythbusters. it'll air in april

[saru1968]

Its been talked about on MAP and Martial Talk...

[Gakkousei]

I watch Mythbusters quite often. I'll have to check it out.

[TeknoXI]

Oooo. I hope Myth Busters do better than their sword breaking sword myth. They never even tried cutting the back of the blade where the metal was obviously softer.

I think the sword against sword thing in reality would have been down to vastly differing qualities of metal like steel against iron. plus they had no "slice" action with the cut in the experiment, only chop, this would reduce the effectiveness. still a great show though, cant wait to see this installment, anyone know when it airs in UK?

Ninja myths? I didn't know there were any worth addressing--besides the odd idea people have that I can disappear and levitate, of course.

You mean you can't? Sheesh, what's the point of training, then?

[Baio]

i can levitate but you need to be at a behind me and at 45 degree angle from me and 5-10 feet away for it to work

[Dale Seago]

Here's a summary of the parts of it I'm involved with:

I actually managed to set them straight on a lot of things. They asked, among other things, whether ninja could catch arrows and throw them back with enough force to do damage. I pointed out that in feudal Japan the bow was a battlefield weapon. For the battlefield, instead of developing arrow-catching skills, they developed stuff we call armor. Likewise, when muskets became popular they didn't work on bullet-catching skills, they upgraded their armor. . .

So does anyone have an idea as to when it will air on Discovery?

[TonyU]

I was just watching Mythbusters last night and showed a preview stating it will be aired on Wednesday 4/25/07. At least here in the US.

[Shindai]

Anyone know of a UK airdate? Been looking forward to this for a while!

Tommorrow night Will, should be on the net 1-2 hours after airing.

Give me a shout if you have trouble.

[Baio]

Okay will the sky plus to record it. If I miss it, I will let you know via PM if I have missed it.

[knarly b]

sky listing shows its not on tonight in UK, just re-runs. I looked through Discovery channel UK site and its not on in UK any time this month.

Watching on US website is an option though, but guessing they are 6hrs behind UK.

[Baio]

www.alluc.org will have it
