    It takes less delta-V to eject them from the solar system altogether.

    Dropping them into a volcano is even cheaper and doable with today's technology.

    A quick google says its around 120-132°C...which is good news I suppose as the water in the kettle should boil before the PP does!

    Is polypropylene also the cover of all the wires? I foresee a cuppa with an unusual aroma...

    Well if it catches fire the water in the pot (or in the kettle) would put it out... so it'd be grand.

    Talking about the smell of burning plastic, I still remember the stench coming from the bakelite pot handles when my grandmother used to leave the flame too high on the cooker. Toxic stuff.

    Don't be so stupid. That water would be hot. You'd need cold water to put it out. Lads, people are so tick. :D

    Haha. You forgot the sarcasm tag.


    Hot water is actually more efficient than cold water at dousing flames as it turns to steam faster.

    Firefighters use "wetter" water to put out fires because it's better than regular water

    (Actually true)

    Am guessing it has something to do with snakes shedding and the person who make the cartoon confused shredding with shedding. :confused:
    Shredding is a playing style on guitar

    Doesn't apply as it can only used by Rock Stars or second level science teachers, by law.

    Dry Ice should be the name of Smirn Off's non-alcoholic range
