Are you watching the Discovery Channel’s MythBusters? It’s one of the most interesting, entertaining and wait for it educational shows on TV . . . but not in a boring, makes your eyes roll into the back of your head kind of way. No, this show separates the fact from the fiction of those pesky urban legends. And, it’s the kind of newfound knowledge that you’re gonna want to share with everyone that you know!

Don’t know what an urban legend is? They’re those loose scientific theories that people love to debate and no one really knows are true or false—until now. The Mythbusters team actually tries them all out and gets the world an answer once and for all. Some that they’ve explored include:

Does drinking alcohol when you’re cold (such as brandy) warm you up? (Nope! Not true)?

Can staring at the sun will make you blind? (Yes it can—even during an eclipse)

Will setting off too many bug bombs in a house make it explode? (Crazy but true—you really just need one!)

Does it take seven years for a piece of chewing gum to pass through your digestive system if you swallow it? (Nope—will digest at the same rate as anything else you swallow)

Can you electrocute yourself by urinating off the platform on the electric, third rail of a train track? (Nope – not true)
