Adam Savage quotes about
Firemen have the coolest toys ever!
The coolest toys don't have to be bought; they can be built. In fact, sometimes the only way they'll ever exist is if you make them yourself.
Lists are how I parse and manage the world.
There's this group online that I frequent. It's a group of prop crazies just like me called the Replica Props Forum, and it's people who trade, make and travel in information about movie props.
The skeptical community is absolutely near and dear to the 'Mythbusters' heart and there's no small reason that they've embraced us. That's our people. That's the way we like to think.
Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?
Prayer doesn't work because someone out there is listening, it works because someone in here is listening. I've paid attention. I've pictured what I want to happen in my life. I've meditated extensively on my family, my future, my past actions and what did and didn't work for me about them.
Isn't television glamourous?
I just had one of those 'what the hell are we doing' moments.
Audiences of critical thinkers are my favorite kinds of audiences. There are jokes I tell in the show that don't get laughs unless I am in front of an audience of critical thinkers. Put me in front of a crowd of science teachers or astronauts! The guileless aren't our audience - it's the critical thinkers we love.
That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!
The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. One worth clinging to. But you don't need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It's not just an idea, it's reality. We're discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day.
How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?!
It's a treat to see the sun rise over the desert. What am I saying? It's a treat to fire off a rocket car over the desert!
