That's a good bacon saftey tip.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A big block of frozen bacon might be used to bludgeon someone. And if you happened to dip a thin bacon slice into liquid nitrogen or hydrogen, you might end up with a sharp edge-weapon. (Not 100% sure about that last one - I might need to do some testing.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Wolfram!

I think liquid nitrogenized bacon would shatter on impact.
At least that's what happened to the armadillo I heard about.

one of the few things that tenured professors can be fired for is misconduct.
You can be fired for misconduct, but posting anonymous criticisms on a public web page would not rise to the level of misconduct that justifies revoking tenure. I mean, we might all think that the guy behaved badly, but that doesn't make it misconduct as the concept has been applied in universities. It pretty much has to be gross violation of your responsibilities to students, or faking data (in the sciences) or plagiarism (in the humanities). Even these things rarely result in dismissal. Spreading rumors about your colleagues? Standard. Finding ways to take advantage of new technology in doing so? The academic way.

Have fun Dana! I will be jealous of you the whole time you are gone. In good will, of course.

Sure, if you give it a sharp blow. But if you hold it in some semi-solid object (wood?) and use it to cut a human, it wouldn't shatter until it contacted bone.
I think.
Maybe I need to write a script for CSI....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Wolfram and family!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats to the Wolframs!
I STILL don't have any bacon.
