We were only able to fit three CCs into that pen, 680 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000 and that wasn't enough to do what we saw in the movie. 681 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000 The neck size up wasn't much better. I wasn't satisfied at all. 682 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000 Now I think I may have found exactly what we need to get a nice big boom, 683 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000 get us a finale that gets us out of this myth, 684 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000 and it's still roughly callable a pen. 685 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000 Sweet. Let's get back out there. 686 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000 Okay. 687 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:26,000 Guys, I have a sneaking suspicion that the baddies might think something's up with this pen. 688 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,000 Admittedly, this is somewhat of a stretch, but that's what we do on Mythbusters. 689 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,000 We blow **** up, and this is gonna blow him up. I guarantee it. 690 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000 Where explosives are concerned, size most definitely counts. 691 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:47,000 And with the experiment ramped up to the ridiculous, Adam has a simple and joyful prediction. 692 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Sorry to say it, buddy. I predict total annihilation. 693 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,000 Not only do I predict it, I want it, and I'm gonna enjoy it. 694 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000 Are you ready for this, James? 695 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000 Hi. 696 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000 The gigantic pen, the enormous pen, the planetary size pen. 697 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000 Are you ready? In three, two, one. 698 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000 That'll teach him. 699 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000 That was a good one. 700 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000 This is one lesson that dummy won't forget in a hurry. 701 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Well, that's what we came to see. 702 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000 The blue's pants clean off. 703 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000 Ha ha ha ha ha. 704 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:39,000 Yep, not only was he deep-panted, he was all out destroyed. 705 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:49,000 Our goal was to see if we could blow off the entire upper torso of the dummy with a pen size piece of explosive. 706 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000 Now, we had to go with something maybe 50 times this size to actually accomplish that, 707 00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000 but nevertheless, if you're a secret agent and you filled something like this with high explosive, 708 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000 it would be lethal. 709 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000 A normal sized pen grenade could be a killer, 710 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,000 but remember, the Bond movie moments saw it blow a humanoid in half, 711 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:16,000 so it's time for Jamie and Adam to mix their metaphors and sign on the dotted line to draw a conclusion. 712 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000 Well, I think we can call this one. 713 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,000 What? 714 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:25,000 Busted. There ain't no way that a small pen full of high explosives is gonna blow the top half of your body off. 715 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000 Look at what it took us to do. 716 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000 But it could kill ya. 717 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000 No doubt. 718 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000 Okay, busted. 719 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000 I like this foam. 720 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000 It's not very blast-proof, but maybe I could make some furniture for my house out of it. 721 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,000 What do you think? 722 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000 Ah, yeah, it might be nice to come over for dinner. 723 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000 What are you doing to me? 724 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000 Bond special's over, and you talk funny. I'm out of here. 725 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,000 You think you can get rid of me that easily? 726 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000 We're not done! 727 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000 James, hire the man! 728 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000 Guess what? We've got another viewer special coming up. 729 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:22,000 So if you've got an idea for a myth you'd like to see us test, log on to Discovery.com slash MythBusters and post it. 730 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000 We want to hear what you've got to say, and it just might make it on the air.
