Also, earlier in July 2004, a portion of the episode titled "
Car Capers" featured the Mythbusters testing if an egg placed into a radiator of a car would subsequently cook and plug holes in the radiator. This was featured in an episode of
MacGyver titled "Bushmaster".

.^ And it featured a MacGyver challenge (well, they call it the Makeshift challenge) were they give you a situation and some items and you have to figure out have to make something to solve the problem.

^ Yep, Richard Dean Anderson, the one who moistens panties, is appearing at the E3 Expo in LA to promote the new Stargate game.
'MacGyverism' was first used by Joanne Remmings (played by Pamela Bowen) in the third episode of Season 2. When MacGyver introduces himself to her, she uses the term in a manner that suggests other people had used it before:
[30]
"Oh I've heard about you!
.^ Evidently, a couple of kids tried the old saltwater in coin slot trick , you know the one that makes a soda can dispenser give out a free soda.
^ Inquire about what you want to know right away, before they have time to wonder who the hell you are.

^ We had two researchers proved extremely helpful, John Koivula in LA, and Jim Green in Vancouver.
[2] .^ During MacGyver's production, a monetary reward was offered to anyone who could come up with a workable MacGyverism for the show.
^ But, I suddenly have a good idea: wouldn't it be cool to see a reality show where contestants had to escape different situations using their wits and everyday items?
^ G. Gordon Liddy, who had been on the show as an actor proved to be a helpful and inspirational resource for information and wild ideas.
A young fan suggested that MacGyver could patch up a vehicle's radiator by cracking an egg into it.
.^ One fan wrote a letter with the idea for MacGyver to crack open an egg to plug up radiator leaks, which was actually used in the "Bushmaster" episode.
Although staff read every letter, few usable ideas were obtained in this way.
