MYTHBUSTERS - FASCINATION WITH THE DODO BIRD Pt 07, with Adam Savage.

Adam Savage Discusses his Fascination with the Dodo Bird at the Last Hope Conference (www.HOPE.net) which took place on July, 18-20 2008 at Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City.

Steven Levy gave the keynote address. Kevin Mitnick, Steve Rambam, Jello Biafra, and Adam Savage of MythBusters were also featured speakers.

The name referred to the expectation that this would have been the final H.O.P.E. conference due to the scheduled demolition of its venue, the Hotel Pennsylvania. The Next HOPE is scheduled for Summer 2010.

Wow I love this man. He's great. Other people have said it, but it is really refreshing to see him speak off the cuff. Mythbusters always sounds so scripted.

If Jamie and him made their own show that wasn't about mythbusting specifically, and more about experimenting and exploring really cool ideas in general, with some mythbusting too, while *talking naturally*, their ratings would go through the roof.

You know, I really wish that every one of these clips wasn't cut in the middle of a damn sentence.

@inthefade i agree with everything except the prediction of ratings. Unfortuantely, the masses prefer to be spoon-fed.

but to you and I it would be a great show!
