*do-so-immediately on floor* ooooh-noooo... that's just reminded me of the dream I had last night :/ it didn't seem to matter how many times I woke up during it, IT KEPT COMING BACK! :\

Well, if you insist...
Why I'm here though, is to say thank you to you, for causing me to inadvertently stumble across the Leidenfrost effect :) It's not that I hadn't seen it before, because I've made it happen countless times myself and watched it and thought it most interesting, it's just it never occurred to me it was a phenomenon that had a name all of its own. Now I know it has, I'm going to call it that all the time now :)
I um... don't suppose it's related in any way to our current quest...? is it...?
edit: there was it's where there should have been an its but there isn't now
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no.
The last person to post in #55, well, the first person to win to be more accurate, will be the clever (or lucky) one to mention either of two words. Neither of those words is 'Leidenfrost'. Or 'effect'. Or any of the words that have appeared so far.
And thank YOU for introducing me (us?) to the term "Leidenfrost effect". That's a good one to know; might win myself a beer at the local bar with that one.
I'm afraid to ask how this Discussion led you to stumble across "Leidenfrost effect". The Universe is a truly mysterious place.

I will guess she was cooking and got her pan WAAAAAY too hot. I do that to check the temp of the oil in a pan, drizzle some droplets in and watch them dance when it's hot enough to pour in the stuff without water in it.
Well sure, who doesn't like spaghetti?! Okay, some cats, but other than that...
I had a cat that loved tomatoes and tomato sauce. If you didn't watch your plate of spaghetti carefully he would have his face in it. He was the orange and white cat who wished he was as tough as my avatar. His treat was to get to lick the pot before I washed it.
I bought my brother a cookbook this year called Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking. Just, ya know, throwing that out there.
Ah, the Popiel Kitchen Magician, it slices, it dices, it grates, but it doesn't puree. Ah, but there is a Mince-O-Matic, a Whip-O-Matic - not kinky, or a Ronco Veg-O-Matic, before that was the Chop-O-Matic and the Dial-O-Matic. There even was the pocket fisherman, but I think sushi got ruled out.

With all these new idiots on tv hawking stuff now I kinda miss Ron Popiel, he was kinda hokey but he was honest, some of these new people are just stupid. Ron also only hawked his own stuff, these new people will hawk anything and everything to make a couple of bucks.

What? Not sushi? Then
What? Not sushi? Then Sashimi it is! (with a side of frog legs)
No, breadcrumbs from your sandwich?
Well, if it is clue, Professor Plum or Colonel Mustard are the guilty parties!
