This little bit and video just cracked me up. You give a person enough smarts, a little bacon and fire, you are bound to cut steel.
Oh, if ScottM happens across my thread, the video includes a vegetarian friendly version as well  http://www.popsci.com/bacon
A little teaser:
I recently committed myself to the goal, before the weekend was out, creating a device entirely from bacon and using it to cut a steel pan in half.

That is different, wonder how it smells when in use? It might make me want to take off and go for breakfast. .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)")

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
