Adam Savage & Kari Byron must be working to bust some redhead myths!  They want 25 natural redheads from the San Francisco area that are available for 4 hours on January 21, 2010.  No payment, but they will get a free t-shirt.

 

The fact that they are also looking for women who have done natural childbirth around the same time makes me wonder though, are they looking into the pain myths that have been studied recently by scientists?

 

There's been quite a lot of retweeting and some enthusiastic responses, even by redheads outside San Fran.  But they insist, you must be living in their home base.

The MythBusters pain episode featuring redheads that everyone has been waiting for is tonight, April 28, 2010 (in the U.S. at least). 

 

In early January we reported that Adam Savage was making a call for redhead test volunteers for the show via his Twitter channel.  We got the word out quickly enough that a couple of our members were able to apply, and so you just might see our own MissyMarie on tonight's program.

 

BoltZero and others did more research and found that the episode would revolve around pain.  Do redheads feel more?  Women or men?  Can cursing help ease the pain?  All of that will be found on tonight's episode.

 

Here are some preview clips:

 

 

 

See the Kari Byron Swear Pain Test at the Discovery Channel site.

 

UPDATE #1: User OmniTomato was spotted.  Here he is with Jamie Hyneman while Adam Savage works the computers.  They used ice water to test the myths.
