Feb 17, 2010; Bacon Torch

Ever get heartburn from bacon? Lucky it wasn't from this bacon.

Quote:
I recently committed myself to the goal, before the weekend was out, of creating a device entirely from bacon and using it to cut a steel pan in half. My initial attempts were failures, but I knew success was within reach when I was able to ignite and melt the pan using seven beef sticks and a cucumber.


Quote:
I used prosciutto (Italian for "expensive bacon") because it is a superior engineering grade of meat. I wrapped slices of it into thin tubes and baked them overnight in a warm oven to drive off all the water. Then I bundled seven of those together, wrapped them in additional slices, and baked the bundle again until it was hard and dry.
To make an airtight, less-flammable outer casing, I wrapped this fuel core with uncooked prosciutto before attaching one end of it to an oxygen hose.
OK, but what about the cucumber?

Quote:
It turns out there are much easier ways to do this. For example, while researching how to build a vegetarian lance, I hit on the perfect pipe material -- hollowed-out cucumbers. The pressure-containment capacity of a standard cucumber is remarkable, and the smooth skin makes it easy to create an airtight seal with the pipe delivering oxygen to the device. A cucumber packed with beef sticks will burn for almost two minutes, and a completely vegetarian version stuffed with breadsticks, though not quite as long-lasting, still produces a very impressive flame.
Vegetarian thermal lance? Oh sure, how about a kosher A-bomb too.

SPUCK  Wednesday Feb 17 06:12 AM

Could be very useful if you were trapped in a prison cell with a bunch of meat.

And cucumbers.


And a hose.

And a regulator.


And a cylinder of oxygen...

Clearly, beer was involved.

Technically he just cut it, he didn't weld it.

If you're at work turn the sound down... hell, turn it down anyway.
