Re: Reader Says Mythbusters Missed on Hammer Strikes

I too can attest to Myth Buster’s fallacy about striking two hammers together will not exploded. About fifty years ago, when I was just a little Munchkin, I “needed” to hammer, the separated, head of a ripping hammer into the ground. (Why? Don’t ask, I guess I needed to learn not to strike hammer heads together.) my final strike caused the hammer head to EXPLODE, leaving a marble size pellet missing from the hammer head and a corresponding hole in my leather apron, my denim jeans and my kneecap. Maybe Myth Buster should redefine what they mean by “Explode”. Shrapnel is still shrapnel.
