In 1996, Goble was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for
preparing a barbecue for cooking in less than 5 seconds by the use of
a smoldering cigarette, charcoal and LOX (liquid oxygen).[4]
I remember seeing a video of that, quite amazingly crazy.
So many of us watched that video that he had to take it off his university
website due to bandwidth usage. Fortunately a few have put it up on
youtube. (Easy to find) *I think* I still have my original copy
somewhere around here...
