Could be the Leidenfrost effect (new window) if he dipped his hands in water first. Fats melt and muscle proteins denature well below deep-frying temperatures.

Could this be an application of the Leidenfrost affect effect?

How 'bout some super-sticky sweet and sour pork?

UsikFark: Blistering and inflammation is a reaction of the body and can be suppressed in normal individuals. Blistering from a potential burn can be avoided by rinsing the area in very cold water or applying ice, ideally within seconds, less than 30 seconds.

This is probably related to the biological process of inflammation, or how the body responds to damage... this man should be incarcerated and studied by top men. Top Men.

Blistering and inflammation may be suppressed. Physical destruction of muscle proteins as the heat decomposes them, not so much.

When he wipes, he's likely to have trouble when the oil hits his anus.

Just like when Mr. Wizard rubbed white powder on his hands then dipped them in a fish tank, only to reveal perfectly dry hands as he lifted them from the water.

Fast finger food: Mr Trichan holds the world record for plucking 20 pieces of chicken from 480c fat in one minute


As remarkable as this was, there... wasn't a lot of competition here, was there?

How many people try for the "pluck as many chicken pieces out of 480c of boiling fat in 1 min as you can"?

PJRart: Just like when Mr. Wizard rubbed white powder on his hands then dipped them in a fish tank, only to reveal perfectly dry hands as he lifted them from the water.

I hope they ate that squirrel.

I was told there is no math on fark.

culebra: I hope they ate that squirrel mango.

sorry, pet peeve.

The father of two was working on his fried chicken stall when he saw a squirrel balancing on a tree eating a mango.

I love Thailand.

strange very strange ...

AFFECT/EFFECT (new window)

There are five distinct words here. When "affect" is accented on the final syllable (a-FECT), it is usually a verb meaning "have an influence on": "The million-dollar donation from the industrialist did not affect my vote against the Clean Air Act."

Occasionally a pretentious person is said to affect an artificial air of sophistication. Speaking with a borrowed French accent or ostentatiously wearing a large diamond ear stud might be an affectation. In this sort of context, "affect" means "to make a display of or deliberately cultivate."

Another unusual meaning is indicated when the word is accented on the first syllable (AFF-ect), meaning "emotion." In this case the word is used mostly by psychiatrists and social scientists-people who normally know how to spell it.

The real problem arises when people confuse the first spelling with the second: "effect." This too can be two different words. The more common one is a noun: "When I left the stove on, the effect was that the house filled with smoke." When you affect a situation, you have an effect on it.

Less common is a verb meaning "to create": "I'm trying to effect a change in the way we purchase widgets." No wonder people are confused. Note especially that the proper expression is not "take affect" but "take effect"-become effective. Hey, nobody ever said English was logical: just memorize it and get on with your life.

The stuff in your purse? Your personal effects.

The stuff in movies? Sound effects and special effects.

"Affective" is a technical term having to do with emotions; the vast majority of the time the spelling you want is "effective."

Now see, that's way less funny. Potentially tastier though.

Captain Steroid: It's a Leidenfrost effect; a phenomenon in which a liquid (such as the grease and sweat on his arms), in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling rapidly.

If his hands are clammy, or somehow kept relatively cold, coupled with quick reflexes, it's actually quite plausible he could be for real.

I'd rather take his word for it than try that stuff at home, though.

Yeah, I don't doubt he's authentic. I'm not going to try to wet my hands and stick them in a fryer though. He can have his record.

Meh, I've seen the same trick done with molten steel. That shiat is scary the first time you see it.

I have a friend that has a interesting medical anomaly. She (as well as her mother) have an extra layer of skin on their hands. I saw her picking at it one day because it peals on occasion. She told me she can take pots that have been cooking in the over for hours with her bare hands. It was really interesting.

The Mythbusters demonstrated it in a relatively recent episode, using molten lead.
