Pirates Can Safely Slow a Fall by Using a Knife to Cut a Sail
When the crew attempted a full-scale version of the myth, the guys decided it would be impossible for a pirate’s knife to be at the perfect balance between dullness and sharpness to safely cut through a sail.

#1 Key is "multiple layers of lenses in the scope".
Carlos Hathcock killed a Vietnamese sniper known as "Cobra" by shooting straight through Cobra's scope. The scope Cobra used (an old Mosin-Nagant as I recall) had fewer lenses than the scope used in the original MythBusters episode.
MythBusters later retested and admitted that it was "plausible".

#8 It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.
