The myth I want them to test is that it is possible to shatter an
upholstery needle into multiple pieces by throwing it at a glass pane.

Remarkably, they've already demonstrated that this myth is confirmed
while testing a different myth. However, they only did it once. If they
actually set out to test my proposed myth, they might well decide that
it is busted.

Regarding the monks' throwing of needles, it did seem to me that they
were throwing them very fast indeed - possibly faster than the champion
baseball thrower, who is, after all, known for throwing baseballs, not
for throwing needles. Given that Mythbusters demonstrated that it is
possible for an upholstery needle to make a hole in a glass pane, I
think they've been a bit hasty in their conclusion that it's busted as
far as human throwers go. The viral video may indeed be a fake, but I
wouldn't want to call it yet.

I don't even watch the show normally but seen enough episodes to know
that they do get things wrong, and sometimes intentionally sabotage
something so that it can't possibly work.

I doubt it's intentional, just a total lack of understanding proper
scientific method on their part. It's like Top Gear is to road tests, not to
be taken seriously.

It has to be entertaining and it generally is, same as TG.

To be entertaining is necessary, but is it sufficient?

Most likely it is as you say, although in one instance I do know they
omitted a critical component from one of their tests, something I find
hard to believe could have been unintentional <shrug>.

Yep, one of my favourite episodes ( apart from the gaffer tape ones ) was

That was *the* best explosion they ever did at the end of that segment.

My favourite segment is the interleaved phone books that they eventually pulled apart between a couple of armoured vehicles.

No need to *believe*. You can replicate it and prove/disprove it for yourself. That's how science works.

How is a picture of a toy helicopter proof of "intelligent design"?

What is not helping is your delusion of grandeur. It's part of your illness. Take the pills and you might start to realise this is true.


http://psychcentral.com/encyclopedia/2008/delusion-of-grandeur/
"A delusion of grandeur is the fixed, false belief that one possesses superior qualities such as genius, fame, omnipotence, or wealth."


Check, check, check and check.


"It is most often a symptom of schizophrenia, but can also be a symptom found in psychotic or bipolar disorders, as well as dementia (such as Alzheimer’s)."


"People with a delusion of grandeur often have the conviction of having some great but unrecognized talent or insight."


Check.


"They may also believe they have made some important discovery that others don’t understand or appreciate."


Check.


"Grandiose delusions may have religious content, such as the person believes he or she has received a special message from God or another deity."


Check.

Sounds just like you Gra Gra.
