Prosciutto-Wrapped Air Hose Cuts Through Steel, Cucumber Version Proven Inferior

Dan Nosowitz — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:00:00 +0000

In a crushing blow for vegetarians worldwide, a cucumber doused in vegetable oil has been proven inferior to prosciutto when tasked with cutting through steel sheet metal. Pork: 1, PETA: 0.

The fat in the prosciutto and the oil-slathered cucumber is used with oxygen and a flame to combust, giving a fairly strong-burning torch. Check out the video below.

Proscuitto, we should add, is a dry-cured (not smoked, like American bacon) spiced Italian pork product, and despite hailing from communist Europe, is far superior to what we in the States know as bacon. That’s right. There’s something better than bacon. [Boing Boing Gadgets]

Bacon iPhone Case Is Most Savoury Gadget Protector Yet

If you’re a discerning eater, you know the age-old mantra: everything’s better with bacon. Out in Germany, they’ve really taken it to heart, and have made fabric gadget cases that look like they’re constructed out of every gentile’s favourite pork product. The Bacon Case seems to come in different sizes, at least one of which can fit the iPhone, and is selling for 25 Euro. The description’s all in German, and I don’t know what or who a “Frühstücksspeck” is, but the case is “Absolute Trendtasche!!!” and who am I to argue with that? More pictures after the jump.

Giant BBQ Grill Trailer: Electronics and Pork Make a Great Combination

Some men build skyscrapers. Some men build pyramids. And some men, really, really great men, build gigantic BBQ trailers. The winner of Crutchfield’s “You Dream It We’ll Help You Build It” contest, Michael Seville took his late father’s three metre long galvanised propane tank and mounted it as the chief component of this 5.2 metre mobile BBQ. Then he stuffed the rest of the platform with electronics.

So while he’s roasting a pig…or two…or three…Seville can listen to an unspecified but bold looking wattage-worth of Polk Audio speakers and Alpine amplifiers. He can watch his Samsung TV complete with Valor DVD receiver. And then, when he’s all done partaking in the digital deliciousness, he can sink his teeth into some succulent smoked ribs, or maybe just a simple brat and beer.

Damn we need to get to an Octoberfest already. And fast. [Crutchfield via Bornrich]
