For some reason, the president of the United States is going to appear on the television show MythBusters. He and the team will examine the urban legend that Archimedes once created a “death ray” out of mirrors to use reflected sunlight in order to destroy enemy ships. The Discovery Channel has already attempted to prove this myth twice, failing both times. Presumably this episode will also test the myth about Barack Obama’s ability to perform miracles. [Fox News]
