What Is It With Bacon?

So this guy makes the equivalent of an acetylene torch with "engineering-grade bacon" (proscuitto). But vegetarians, don't despair: he makes another with breadsticks and a cucumber... it's not as effective at cutting plate steel, but still very impressive. I'd bet if he dipped the breadsticks in olive oil, they burn back more slowly and cut steel as well as the bacon. Whatever. Obviously, this is an economic issue... some people have way too much time on their hands these days. From The Feedbag. I can't get the embedding to work, but it is worthwhile to click over and watch the clip.
