Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for November 16, 2011

Love it.

As Paris might say, “That’s hot.”

As I would say, “You’re gonna make him a hot head.”

You want fries with that?

Now they’ll all die slowly from high cholesterol! Mwhahaha

Actually, oil was so expensive and hard to get in those days that defenders that it was never used that way. Boiling water or hot sand was much more likely

The ram is an early example of a battery charge.

Looks like they are focusing on the problem!

Magnifi-cent!

Obviously were once nasty kids torturing ants.

But don’t worry—it just gives a light burn.

ZOT!

@Beviek, I love the story. I wish that I had a sibling with whom I had good stories. I had only one brother born in 1940 (I was born in 37) and he got all the good treatment that I never did- and he became the rotten adult who cheated all his clients and even our parents, but at least he died at a relatively young age and was abandoned in an obscure nursing home far from any relatives by the woman he never married (after leaving his wife). Karma has a way. . .

Ground lenses (even after discovery of the technique) were far more than any cooking oil or such (tho’ water may also have been used).
