Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are accustomed to busting myths. But this week, the hosts of television’s “Mythbusters” busted two houses and a minivan.  A cannonball fired at tanks of water at bomb demolition range missed its target and careened for 700 yards through 2 houses and a car.  Fortunately, nobody was injured.  “Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy,” said Sgt. J.D. Nelson, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department. “You wouldn’t think it was possible.”
