Melbourne - It's a scorcher, mate

scorcher

When a sign at the local supermarket says it’s too hot to put cheese in the refrigerated display unit (you have to ask for it over the counter like you’re buying nangs) you know things are getting bad. If you live in Melbourne or Adelaide, we don’t need to tell you that you haven’t slept for days and are about to kill everyone you live with.

But, if you’re going to crack, why not crack in the name of science? We conducted the following experiment yesterday when the temperature had reached its maximum of 43 degrees (109 fucking degrees F). As you can see, it may not have been worth it.

An egg was cracked over a hot bluestone paver.

Nothing happened.

Next we tried an iron grille that was so hot we could barely touch it.

Result: nothing.

Scrambling didn't work either.

Neither did this.

Maybe it's not hot after all.
