Off hand I would have though the can would have started to melt, but I suppose the outer layer had cooled enough so it didn't... still would have been cooler if he left it sealed

Not sure about that: from some of the angle changes I'm guessing he was pretty damn close. Would you want to be sprayed with a red hot ravioli / tomato / steel / molten rock combination? It could be as hot as a McVomits Apple Pie, or even approach that of a Pop Tart...

Pop Tarts the only thing I have seen that appears to break the laws of thermodynamics...

We had the really thick luminous yellow stuff.
Do you remember the Golden Syrup sponge? I still make that... :slurp:

These people will send you some: http://www.britsuperstore.com/[^] - search for "suet" and it's at the top of the list. In dutch it is "Reuzel Vet" and all suet is, is raw beef fat from round the kidneys. (Not to be confused with dripping, which is the same stuff rendered down. Doesn't work the same, but it is good for roast potatoes.)
The Atora boxed version is just the fat finely grated, mixed with flour and reformed into pellets to make it drier and last longer without refrigeration.

£2.33 for a packet of suet?
What, does it have an apple logo on the box?

Well, this is a site about sharing your thoughts. There really are some weird people out there. He doesn't even know Einstein's name correctly. Just thought it was funny, and sad.

Oh! Good!
I thought you thought it was somehow funny and insightful or something.

Off the top-of-my-head, I'd say the author of that needs a course of electro-convulsive therapy followed by rigorous training in grammar, and spelling.
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Perusing that site, I'd say most of the people there do. I had to close the browser window, my faith in humanity was beginning to become rather rattled. I have the same experience browsing Facebook. I think this[^] sums up my preferred position on the topic of sites like Facebook.

Facebook is useful as its database provides us with a complete list of all the stupid people who must be purged from the Earth when the great Kthaarg returns.

That one's pretty good.
The perspective to take, when coming up with/expanding weird theories, is "what could intelligent members of some hidden tribe that didn't have our Physics books believe?". The "poetry" guy just played with quotes.

He is of course correct:
