The Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt, a Bacon Burger with Two Bacon-Stuffed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches as Bun.

Scroll down and look at the double...

This, to me, is even more deadly than those 20-lb hamburger monstrosities some bars like to challenge their dimwitted patrons with. Because a normal human being might just be able to eat it. If I consumed one of these bad boys - especially the double, and assuming I could keep it down - my heart would seize up like an engine that had been fueled with sand-laden diesel, my arteries would turn to latex and you could drag me to Naples behind the QEII so all my Italian relatives could skate over on the oil slick.

Jenis, Mogg and Joran!

Speaking of engines, here's a vid of a 1918 farm engine being restored by the son of one of my friends - he does this as a hobby.

It's a single-piston job, using an igniter instead of a spark plug. Very cool.

Interesting old engine; how is it cooled? Kind of reminds me of the engine in a friend's Fairmont railroad speeder; has a radiator but the water flow is by convection instead of a pump.

Cooled by boiling water - the green tank on the top of the engine is the reservoir, and the cylinder dwells within, surrounded by the coolant.
