I think liquid nitrogenized bacon would shatter on impact.
At least that's what happened to the armadillo I heard about.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.
Hi David! ::waves::

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think liquid nitrogenized bacon would shatter on impact.
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....

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

So basically re-writing "Lamb to the Slaughter" as "Pig to the Slaughter"?
