Beware of electric pickles

Greetings.

Blame Zemata.  It thought this image from Wikipedia was relevant.

Jewish date:  24 Ṭeveth 5770 (Parashath Wa’erah).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  National Cut Your Energy Costs Day, Volunteer Fireman’s Day.

Worthy cause of the day:  “Save Canada's Woodland Caribou - The Petition Site”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Mortgage Ignominy at JP Morgan Chase”
  
• “Toy Train Runs to Calibrate Sensors in a Princeton Reactor”:  I cannot make something like this up.

Today’s weird thing is “How To Make A Glowing Pickle (Fire Pickle)”.

I do not explain this sort of stuff.  I just report it.  And I do not recommend you try this at home.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.
