Mythbusters Accidently Give Life to “Buster”

 

Moments before unspeakable evils were unleashed

The new season of Mythbusters boasts a bigger budget and new outrageous myths to tackle with the fundamental elements of the scientific method¹. Nothing could have prepared them, however, for what happened while taking on a myth about the Occult. This seemingly innocent myth animated the popular crash test dummy, Buster, and sent him on a rampage.

 

The myth involved a dark ancient ceremony found on parchment dating from ancient Egypt. The myth presented here was that the ceremony would give life to any humanoid doll. The “animated” doll would be complete with emotions, memories, and a will of its own². The ceremony was played out on Buster during a full moon last lunar cycle. The details are still unknown on what the ceremony involved, but sources³ say it involved a night of candles, sheep’s blood, a virgin sacrifice, and a quick run to late night Wendy’s⁴.

“We knew something had gone wrong almost immediately,” said Marvis Bacon, a boom mike operator. “Buster’s hands started moving on their own and became a fist. That’s when the killing spree began.”

Few survived what is now being referred to as the “Buster Apocalypse”. One can only guess where the seemingly insatiable hatred expressed by this dummy came from. Buster with his inhuman strength dragged Jamie by his ankles to the roof and threw him off⁵. Adam did not escape either as Buster poured gasoline on him and burned him alive. Buster then grabbed a sword and massacred the rest of the Mythbusters cast and crew.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the 97 deceased members of the Mythbusters crew.
