Because of Mythbusters' widespread love and popularity, a lot of people probably think

they know all the secrets behind this explosively entertaining show.

Here's a couple fascinating facts about everyone's fave mad scientists.

Before appearing in MythBusters, Kari Byron was a student of film and culture at San Francisco

State University, and she ultimately wanted to join the special effects industry.

That interest eventually led her to M5, the F/X company founded by fellow Mythbuster Jamie

She was actually an unpaid intern for a while, and that opportunity eventually blossomed

They work hard, they're trying to prove themselves, and they are cheap or free."

If anything, she learned to marry the more explosive elements of the show into her own

One very clear example of this is her explosive paintings.

To create these works, she lights gunpowder on fire and then scrapes burnt clay away from

the page to make a series of haunting images.

She likens the process to quote "controlled chaos."

"Have you ever really looked at the sky?"

With so many experiments over the years, you have to wonder if there are any myths the

Adam Savage apparently wishes he'd ixnayed one segment.

Not because the experiment was particularly dangerous or difficult to film, but because

The experiment itself involved determining whether or not keeping a shaving razor beneath

a makeshift pyramid would actually keep it sharper, due to so-called "pyramid power."

Savage regrets filming the segment, because he believes it was ultimately impossible to

apply the scientific method to that particular experiment.

He believes they were tasked with quote "trying to prove a negative," since there was real

Mythbusters was all about science, which means it never let something like corporate sponsorship

Alas, it sounds like even Mythbusters wasn't immune to advertiser pressure: They reportedly

decided to ax an entire episode about RFID, that handy technology that lets you wave your

credit card in front of a card reader so you don't have to swipe it.

You've no doubt heard that RFID isn't necessarily secure.

Well, Mythbusters got wind of that, too, and planned an entire episode about the hackability

But according to the Register, lawyers for major credit card companies intervened, and

In 2008, Adam Savage opened up about the situation at a Hackers on Planet Earth conference.

"They absolutely made it really clear to Discovery that they were not going to air this episode

talking about how hackable this stuff was."

He claimed Discovery quote "backed down" because they relied so heavily upon advertising revenue.

That sounds like the honest truth, but something must have happened behind the scenes: Savage

later backtracked and changed his tune, saying:

"The decision… was made by our production company … and had nothing to do with Discovery…

Mythbusters was billed as a "family show," so there were certain things the program simply

For example, they couldn't even show a simulation of a particular body part while testing the

legendary "Peeing on the Third Rail Myth," even though they were clearly using a synthetic

Oh, and in case you're wondering how that experiment worked out:

Anyway… according to TV Tropes, censors forbade Mythbusters from airing an entire

Undeterred, the team tried a segment on farting later on, but this time they followed all

sorts of oddball rules, like only using the word "flatus" instead of "fart," supposedly

to make the whole thing sound more scientific.

To work around all the bodily functions they couldn't show on screen, the Mythbusters team

"I am planning to build a machine that can also eject a flatus.

The result was really funny and actually rather vulgar... even though they were basically

You can gloss over that fact as much as you like, but pretty much every cast member was

And if you watched the show, you were pretty geeky, too.

"But I was going to Toshi's station to pick up some power converters!"

As you can imagine, it's not particularly easy to work something like Star Wars into

After all, Star Wars is a closely guarded property, and there are hoops to be jumped

through before you can start busting lightsaber and stormtrooper myths.

Adam Savage told The Hollywood Reporter he was surprised how open Lucasfilm turned out

The team wasn't allowed to animate lightsaber effects, but other than that, they were pretty

There was one important provision: Savage joked that MythBusters couldn't depict stormtroopers

"I don't think they wanted us to twerk with a Stormtrooper or something like that."

The LucasFilm people probably didn't want another Christmas special on their hands.

"Please, please, I have enough aggravation."

The Mythbusters had some very public mishaps, but people might not entirely realize just

how common it was for the cast to injure themselves in the line of duty.

According to CNet, Mythbuster accidents ran the gamut from explosions to an injury by goat.
