Hmmm. This sounds like a job for the Mythbusters (a v. amusing show on the Discovery channel where two guys take various urban legends and try to disprove them). They covered the one on the exploding-CD-in-a-high-speed-drive a while back.

Of course, it will be necessary for someone to teach Adam or Jamie to knit, or to volunteer themselves for the experiment....

Lifting weights? You go with your in-shape self! I think you should bring some free weights to the meetings and alternate knitting with lifting. They won't know where to categorize you in their minds....
Hey, when are you coming back out here? Huh? Huh?
