Default Re: Proof of the BIG Bang Theory

I had a Mexican taqueria owner, who believed in jerry rigging everything. Unfortunately he had no mechanical insight whatsoever. His water heater started popping off the relief valve, so he screwed in a 3/4" plug. Shortly thereafter, it blew. Went thru the attic, the roof, across kfc, across a 5 lane road, and landing in the middle of pizza huts parking lot. No one was injured. He moved up the street to a new location, because his building was toast. A year later, I went in to work on a fryer , and the fool had jumpered the hi temp limit. Oil will burst into flame at around 450/500 degrees.
