Have you heard of the MythBusters? It is a tv series, starring American special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, who use basic elements of the scientific method to test the validity of various rumors, urban legends, myths and news stories in popular culture.
They have drawn up an Animal Myths Quiz to test our knowledge about animals. I am sure you have some of your own. For this week's Friday Frolics, let's do this MythBusters Quiz and see how much we know about animals.
My result? It says:
Great job! Adam and Jamie would be very, very proud.
You did so well, there's really no reason to take this quiz again. Unless you want to...
Let's see how well you fare on the MythBusters Quiz
My result was, "Not too shabby. You're on your way to becoming a great buster of myths."
ReplyDeleteActually, considering that I've always been an animal lover and have devoted considerable time to studying animal lore since I was around 5 years old, I'd call that an embarrassing result!
Maybe I was misled by screwed sources on a couple of points...I dunno...
Yeah, screwed sources. I like that. We are faced with these all the time and if we don't bust the myths, we'd be busted ourselves!
