We like to use plastic zip-lock bags.
1. Break eggs into bag.
2. Ad cheese or sausage slices.
3. Double bag in second zip-lock (just to be safe)
4. Toss into boiling water.
5. Eat!

Seems very odd that a kettle which boils water... so at least has to make some of it reach 100c would have an overall temp of 80c... but anyway

Yeah, I can see how one of these would be great if you weren't a latte style drinker... I couldn't handle it, but it looks like it would make a better coffee than a drip filter, and faster too.

Simmer down, boiling water. So again. If the point was a vagina, et cetera.

Hmmm... guys, the fellow being pranked is a professional manzai comedian. Knowing Japanese comedy shows - like this one - he is already scarred. In fact, this one is famous for making an incredibly weird grimace while crying out "Kuyashii desu!", i.e. "I'm vexed!". Example. Also, knowing the Japanese comedy world, while they are not lawsuit happy at all (like the rest of Japanese society) they do get the consent of the comedians' managers before pulling any kind of prank, since the talent agencies that represent the comedians do care about their image. Other pranks include diving in near-boiling water, getting your apartment ransacked on live TV while you're on the other side of Japan, etc.

Beck, you are one huge motherfucking piece of shit. You now have solidified my long-held belief that you deserve to die in boiling water.

Al Gore used the same metaphor in An Inconvenient Truth.

But Beck did it wrong anyway. It's not a frog tossed into boiling water.

Conservatives just don't understand the scientific method... test and PROVE your experiment FIRST before claiming it as fact and then making a total ASS of yourself on air. LOL

I guess he took it on FAITH that the frog would receive a brain signal from GOD and would jump out of the boiling water.

Lets toss Beck into boiling water and see if he jumps out.

When you place a frog into boiling water it dies...guess what he is trying to imply about america here? I'll give you a minute to think about it.

A minute, huh? How generous.

Off the top of my head, is he trying to tell people that the US Government policies are equivalent to a quick and painful death, and that US citizens should rise up and hang any census worker that happens to wonder how many kids they have?

um...it's pretty obvious metaphor folks.

When you place a frog into boiling water it dies...guess what he is trying to imply about america here? I'll give you a minute to think about it.

I will be truly amazed if he did boil a real frog mind you.

"Professor Doug Melton, Harvard University Biology Department, says, "If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die. If you put it in cold water, it will jump before it gets hot -- they don't sit still for you." -Next Time, What Say We Boil a Consultant

So what's likely to have happened? There WAS a pot of boiling water on the table (you can see the steam throughout the video), and he did seem to pick up a frog from one of the many very real ones in the mini aquarium. I think I see a splash at 1:06 but it's hard to tell if it's either the video compression fuzzing in and out, his reflection on the inside of the pot as he moves back and forth, OR an actual splash.

The final piece of evidence? He is TELLING us he's using a real frog and after watching him cut open a fish on live TV I wouldn't put it past him. Why else would he go to all the trouble of actually boiling water and having real frogs unless he actually put one in the pot?

Poor little froggie :-(

a comment from another site where this was posted:

"Glenn didn’t throw a frog into boiling water. 5 seconds after the end of this clip Glenn says as part of the monologue, “Forget the frog, the frog was fake” then continues on to make his point.

In the next segment he and Ambassador John Bolton show the fake plastic frog.

The quality of this clip is poor and it doesn’t even look like he threw anything in the water - but I was watching it in HD and you could see something green going into the pan and water splash (which you can hear in the clip)."

Glad I could help. Efficient and self-sustaining design is one of my interests. I spend a little bit of free time at work wandering around the internet looking for interesting ideas and advancements.

Sounds like you are more concerned about keeping heat in than keeping the house cool at the moment. Can I assume you are in a northern region?

I think most people recommend adding wall insulation, insulation to the roof/attic, and updating the windows as the good steps to increase the R value of your old house.

lol... I reread you post. Floor to ceiling windows. If those windows get a good amount of sunlight, you might look into eutectic salt chambers (more information at David Allan's website.) That would help retain heat as it released it during fusion as your house gets colder at night.

I'm also toying with the idea of combining a eutectic salt chamber with a radial dish and fiber optics to heat rooms without large windows. They've been working on small radial dishes on the ceilings of houses that will track the sun (small photovoltaic cell and motor on dish) connected with fiber optic cables to run the sunlight into a building. They have been using a UV filter just before the fiber optic cables and disperser at the end to add natural light to the inside of a building. There is an immense amount of energy that comes through the fiber optics (without the UV filter) and they have actually been able to boil water with it. I believe that the commercial applications use plastic fiber optic cables instead of glass and don't allow as much energy through, but we'll see what advances come along in the future. If I can combine the eutectic salt chamber with an additional external case (reflective inside and a few slits for air flow at the top and bottom) and fiber optics bringing the sunlight down to it, I might just have a way to heat the middle of the house without having to loose heat with a window.

Well, I've got time. I'm still working and going to school. I'm years away from buying a house. But when I do, I would like to build my own on a piece of land.

Simmer down, boiling water. No reason to make it personal. This is dispassionate discourse. I have lived in NC for the better part of my life, and we have seen many hurricanes. It's anecdotal and irrelevant.

thanks dude!
im totally making this!

Marzipan recipe for you:

1 pound of almonds
1 pound of powdered sugar
1/2 - 1 egg white
1 tea spoon of lemon juice

Scald the almonds in boiling water and remove the skin. Grind the almonds into a fine powder. Then grind them a second time together with the powdered sugar. Mix in egg white and lemon juice until it is a solid mass. Now you can shape it into funny shapes, or cover pieces of it with dark chocolate. The former is a great activity for the kids!
