If you’ve watched the Discovery Channel for more than a few minutes, chances are you’ve come across the show MythBusters. In at, special-effects gurus Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman — previously seen pimping Intel’s Santa Rosa chipset at an event in San Francisco in May — test popular myths and urban legends (and, in the process, shoot and explode things on a regular basis).

Macs have made several cameos on the show in the past. But in a recent episode called “Trail Blazers”, Adam whips out an iPhone (complete with what appears to be Incase’s Leather Fitted Sleeve) and uses the Stopwatch function of the Clock app to time how long it takes for a 7-foot trail of gasoline to burn from one end to the other. That’s much cooler than my last use for the Stopwatch — figuring out how long it took me to walk home.
