Adam Savage of the TV show Mythbusters explains an experiment that the Discovery Channel rejected. Did your mother ever say "The box is more nutritious!" when you asked for sugary cereal? Adam and Jamie set up a test to find out if that's true, which turned out completely different from anything they expected. This is an excerpt from Savage's speech at Maker Faire. Subject matter may be disturbing to some viewers. You can watch the entire speech at FORA.tv. Link -via Digg
I just said that there was a plane crash in the Andes about 40 years ago, and the survivors had to eat the available dead bodies (they ate the pilot!) to survive. And Discovery even made a very graphic documentary about it. How controversial.
