HOWTO cut steel with bacon

With a Flaming Bacon Lance of Death, of course.

Referencing a related experiment:

Cucumber is an *excellent* base for these things because it's air-tight, moist (to resist fire), easy to core, and has a rubbery skin that makes an air tight seal. About the only thing wrong with cucumbers is that they are not made of bacon.


With a quote like that, how could I not pass this along?

things that you apparently can't make out of human breast milk

(Seriously, why is it called 'breast milk' rather than 'human milk' or 'humans' milk'? We don't call cows' or goats' milk 'udder milk'...)

The reason why it doesn't work is particularly interesting: apparently human milk can't curdle.
