  • Quick, Call Adam and Jamie!

    A few years ago, the Mythbusters cable TV show had a Thanksgiving episode in which they tested the myth that an automobile engine could be used to cook dinner while driving to the designated place to eat it. By measuring the temperature profile of various parts of the engine and drive train (catalytic converter is quite hot, for example), and with the help of a creative TV celebrity chef, they did it.

    Maybe they would be interested in computer cookery. It might take a server farm to cook Thanksgiving dinners, though.
