For me text on right side is cut-off because my user name is longish in both chromium and firefox on Ubuntu. Also does anyone know of a setting in options that make it more eye friendly on a n900 ? Sure I could zoom all the way out and have all the text readable without scrolling from side to side, but then I would need to carry around a magnifying glass !

Cutting Steel With Flaming Bacon Weapons 73

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday April 16, 2009 @07:23PM from the Kingdom-of-Loathing-gets-a-little-more-real dept.

Ed Pegg writes "Theo Gray demonstrates the Bacon Lance, a flaming meatsword that can cut through steel. Yes, with some ordinary bacon, and some pure oxygen, it's possible to cut through security doors. Form the article, '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.' This comes out right after his profusely illustrated book of science experiments, Mad Science."
