I've also read that they're fabulous if your cooking needs involve sticking your hand into a pot of boiling water, nsm if you want to pick something up.

Given that the only person I know with one is the boy's roomie, who has never been observed to cook to my knowledge, this is probably just fine for his needs.

The Zoidberg thing also struck me, but I am not Neil Gaiman, no matter how hard I try.
