    Default Making holes in steel...with bacon!

    Bacon - is there anything it can't do??

    Ok, it's not strictly welding, but you never know when you might need to cut a hole in steel when all you have is an oxy tank and some bacon!

    "It turns out that ordinary American bacon does not have the structural integrity that's necessary for this application. So I'm using an engineering grade of bacon."



    I wonder which of the three little pigs was the engineer? I always thought the brightest was a bricklayer...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
