Thanks for a great ride!


That was aimed at me; I had to take off so I passed the baton (you like how I worked that?) to Surlykat but she may have been slightly under the influence when I explained how precious the bar o' aluminium was to the Matthew.


We burned the batton



A few people tried to pick it up with their bare hands while it was still glowing red.

Hey, that was direct experimentation into the thermal properties of aluminum. It's well known that aluminum has a lower specific heat than steel; therefore, it should cool faster than steel, and also, one end can be much, much hotter than the other.

Science nerds FTL. Sorry about your stick, Matt...

in my defense, the baton was already in the fire when I started playing with it, I was not the instigator of the aluminum-burning.
