A good topic for mythbusters might possibly be

petrol stations

From memory, they concluded that the mobile phone transmissions are not the
cause, but static electricity build-up from clothes, etc being discharged on
the pump nozzle.

True

Alien spacecraft aren't.

Well they might be, but we wouldn't know unless one landed and we got a look
at it. For all you know "Aliens" may have seen our space pods exploring
space and thought of them as UFOs as well. lol Perhaps UFOs are like these
explorer pods without any being on board. ;-)

They should check up on the whole Truman theory that Herc keeps on
mentioning, to finally silence him.

Yup. The tip-off was that most pump fires have been started by women.
You see, you normally discharge static when you step out of the car whil
holding onto the door. But some women have a tendency to get back in the
car to get their money out of their purses, then to get out again
without touching the door, because it's already open.

Actually, I'd say you will RUE every psychotic post you ever made if they

Weird. I rarely get back in the car to get my money, I get my purse out,
then get out of the car and get the petrol...

He'd just claim that what they saw and heard was altered by the US
government by sending signals from a satellite straight into their brains...

That's the way that I remember it as well. They tried several times to get
a spark from a mobile phone to ignite some petrol fumes. I think 'Buster'
(See note 1) eventually got toasted but by a spark from static
electricity.

Note 1: Does 'Buster' have a fan web site?

Religion is real. 'God' is a debatable point.

I thought that the theory was this: That under the right conditions a
static charges will build up in a car. It was happening in mine and i
fixed it by installing a static strap which grounds the car. However, if
there is a charge built up in the car it can ground itself through the
nozzle on the bowezer which results in a spark which can ignite vapours at
the entrance to the fuel inlet pipe. I doubt that the sex of the person
has much to do with it.
