    Idiocy should be grounds for immediate removal from any public office.

    That definitely includes claiming an ethnic group controls weather with space lasers or whatever it was Horsey was yammering about. Or injecting bleach. Or that Tylenol causes autism.

    Actually it seems they’re all maximum stupid and crazy, doesn’t it.

    Leave it on your coffee table overnight then tell me it didn’t melt.

    As to why it “turned black” I’d assume it has something to do with the carbon in the hydrocarbon you’re burning.

    Its certainly an odd article. What really gets me is there is no mention they walked outside and took some snow and evaluated it themselves. let it melt naturally. mess around with it. maybe compare to stuff sticking to the side of your freezer somewhere. Its unclear to if the videos are just fakes or is there some sort of contamination which would be a story.

      i mean i think you probably just can’t melt a huge chunk of ice with a lighter. it takes a lot of energy to melt ice, that’s why we use it to cool things.
