In this episode, the mythbusters team finds out whether or not plastic disposable lighters are bombs.

Warning: Spoilers
They rig up 1,000 lighters together and try to blow up a car with it. This is not one of their best shows. The lighter experiment was sort of boring and obvious. While the other experiment dealt with breaking windows.

They would test out if holding your hand against a windshield would prevent it from shattering. And from what? Incoming pebbles at 70mph. Of course, here in the US all cars have laminated glass and these windows don't shatter into a million pieces. They order some cheap glass and manage to break the window every time with a BB gun. Also, the robotic guy is wearing gloves while holding the window. I wonder if that threw off the experiment, and a bunch of nerds will be writing them to revisit it and waste time on this crap.
