Want more 'Bad'? Watch 'MythBusters'


If last night's episode of Breaking Bad wasn't nearly enough for you, tonight you can head to MythBusters for an hour of Walt-inspired mayhem.

The Discovery series' Breaking Bad special is inspired by something creator Vince Gilligan said in an interview. When asked what show he'd like Breaking Bad to do a crossover with, Gilligan answered, yes, MythBusters.

Gilligan and Aaron Paul pop up in the show to introduce a couple of challenges: one, to see if hydrofluoric acid really could dissolve through a bathtub and the floor below. Two, they test whether mercury fulminate could be used as an "impact explosive" to destroy an entire room.

Here's a preview featuring Gilligan:

You may not want to watch the episode while you're eating; I did this a few days ago and regretted it. (All I'm saying is they use pigs to stand in for Bad's dead bodies.) The episode airs tonight at 10 ET/PT on Discovery.
