those wild and wacky mythbusters

are trying to blow our socks off (literally!!!)

'Mythbusters' Explosion Startles Yolo County Town
ESPARTO, Calif. (CBS13) ―

An explosion rocked the Yolo County town of Esparto today, and it was kind of on purpose. The popular TV show "Mythbusters" was shooting an episode of their show, but the segment didn't exactly go as planned.

The Mythbusters came out to answer the question: Can you really knock off someone's socks?

What better place to come than a rock quarry? The residents of Esparto no longer agree with that statement after Friday's event.

"They said it felt like someone rammed into the side of the school with a truck," said resident Janine Gillham, whose son was in school that day........

a plea!

send us your socks!!! from the mythbusters

ok, i personally think is this one of THE best myths (although i don't think it's a myth at all, it's REAL) they could test!

Did your grandma or Aunt Betty give you some horrible socks for the holidays that you'd like to get rid of? Well, the search to re-gift is OVER! Send them to us!

We're currently working on busting a myth about socks in a washing machine and we NEED some socks for the experiment!

here's the video plea for SOCKS
