the thing that really made me most upset about that mythbusters episode was the part where they rigged the dummy to make him punch sharks to see if that worked to fend them off.
It made me upset because they didn't try to bust a myth in a way that actually made sense. They put a wetsuit filled with chum on him! Maybe if people actually went in the ocean wearing bathing suits full of chum the expiriment would apply, but you can't prove if sharks can be fended off by a punch in the nose if you are attracting them with dead fish at the same time.
