Adam finds his target

On October 7, the Discovery Channel's hit show "MythBusters" begins airing its latest round of episodes. 

CNET News got a chance to visit the "MythBusters" home workshop, M5 Industries, in San Francisco, and talked with Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, the two lead stars of the show, about what's in store for fans this fall.

Without giving away too much, the duo talked about whether it was possible to build a boat out of duct tape, about whether antacid can be used to break out of prison, whether a dirty car gets better gas mileage than a clean one and the dynamics of bullet ricochets.

Other myths investigated this fall on the show include whether it's possible to hold onto a car as it zigs and zags and stops suddenly, and whether sleeping in a bed of icing sugar turns you into a glazed doughnut.
