The President is appearing on tomorrow's Mythbusters to commission Adam and Jamie to look into the myth of Archimedes mirror. For those not in the know, it's a device which was supposedly used to focus the power of the sun to set attacking Roman ships afire during the Siege of Syracuse.
The Mythbusters have addressed this one at least twice in the past. So it's been done multiple times before, they've had minor success, but never found it really workable, and now that Obama shows up the results are supposed to be different? A fine metaphor for modern liberalism indeed.
UPDATE: Great minds think alike, but IMAO has clips.

Umm...Who said anyone is expecting different results? Maybe he thinks Archimedes mirror is a cool way to inspire students to study science. Or maybe he just enjoys the show.
