Mythbusters Does Star Trek ?

^All this proves is that it's far too vaguely and inconsistently defined to be testable, even if it were possible to test it safely.
If we want something Vulcan-related for the Mythbusters to test, how about the idea that pointed ears improve your hearing in a thin atmosphere? That might be testable with latex ear appliances or artificial ears.

Why would we test the Vulcan Nerve pinch? Do we have any Vulcans around? It was made up by Nimoy on the day of shooting! It's not as if any serious scientific thought went behind it.
I do look forward to seeing the "Arena" myth tested. Should be fun. I wonder if the gun will fire, or simply explode?

With the Gorn cannon thing...we all know what will happen...it probably won't work at first, blowing the bamboo shaft appart, then they'll do it again and Grant, Kari and the other guy whose name escapes me make big "WHHHOOAOAAA! AWESOME!!" noises as it finally fires.
That stuff gets old real fast.

I can't wait. I would love to see them test out the "Red Shirt" myth that they always die...
For instance... revisit the lighting strike/tongue piercing... but put one in a red shirt, and one in a blue shirt...
Put 10 dummies in a line 5 feet apart, and hook a machine gun up to a 180 degree swivel on full auto... unleash it and see if the dummy in the red shirt (placed at random, of course) takes more hits than the others.
And then, of course, just blow shit up :-) Oh, with red shirts... duh!

Someone did a statistical analysis of that once. Actually most of the casualties in the first season wore gold or blue shirts. The "redshirts always die" myth comes mainly from a few episodes with high redshirt counts, such as "Obsession," "The Changeling," and infamously "The Apple," where they actually beamed down this enormous 10-member landing party in two trips just so they could have four spear-carriers to bump off in quick succession.
Speed bus jump ?
Didn't they do that as part of the big special at the start of the most recent series?
And from the newly opened box in the background there do we assume that Amazon sells Gorn masks?
"Drive in dark" sounds interesting too.
