    It's a scientific fact that people without enough oxygen are jealous of those who do.

    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!

    Probably PVC which is really yuckie if it melts or catches fire.

    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

    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.

    Actually, I wasn't thinking right in saying this. Spray ice water out of a hose and it will instantly freeze, possibly making it not very wet.

    Pedant alert. Water, whether a solid, liquid or gas isn't wet.

    Not really as saying we are in the UK implies we are not independent whereas saying Finland is in Scandinavia still allows for independence. More like using the term British Isles

    Fair enough, but all the Finns I've ever spoken to (and they are quite a lot) always made sure to correct anyone who would call them Scandinavians.

    And Ireland is in the British Isles, so that's less comparable too.

    UK/Ireland isn't exactly comparable, but I couldn't think of anything better
