MythBusters Q&A: Naming of M5

Adam Savage talks about the naming of M5 Industries (NOTE: clip starts midway through the answer). Clip from a live MythBusters event to benefit Encinal High in Alameda. More info at:

Adam: "It's misnomer actually. When I first started working for Jamie and we worked for a company called Colossal Pictures, and they went out of business and they sold the model shop to Jamie, and he wanted to think of a cool name for it. I was thinking, 'Where does James Bond get all his cool droids(?) from?" Well that would be British Secret Service, which I now know it's MI6, but for some reason back then I suggested M5 and it's been that way every since."
