looks like the leidonfrost effect me thinks?

"..a squirrel was eating a mango on the tree and fell into my fried chicken wok."
Not something that you overhear on the subway too often.

rofl x2

This seems to be superhuman, maybe he is a cyborg?

He could be smiling or grimacing and I would have no idea.

He should join the X-Men.

Unlikely. Leidonfrost is the other way around, cold liquids on super hot surfaces.
Besides, oil doesnt have an evaporation point, it has a flashpoint....leidonfrost certainly doesnt apply here.

it would work if his hands were wet? i thought that was a principle of leidenfrost?

if not then one of three things is happening:

1) he has hyper resilient skin in which case he must be studied by science STAT

2) he's a witch in which case BURN HIM

3) jesus, in which case, repent

Hot oil + water = Fire.
That would be a bad idea

Leidenfrost works on the principle of the evaporation point of a fluid on a super hot surface creating a 'steam' (read: gas) interface between the surface and the fluid, for the fluid to float on free of surface tension forces...creating the droplets you see dancing on a hot skillet.

Seeing as oil has no evaporation point, and hot oil and water mix to create fire (the oil is aerosolized by the rapid turning of water to steam, causing it to explode when it gets enough air/fuel mix), I dare say he has dry hands to begin with.

Hes just a freak.

ya forgot about water and hot oil making fire.
