As you can probably tell, I wanted to make a thread where people posted incredibly stupid and suicidal things to do something rather ordinary...and THEN post a safe way to do the latter.
I shall start;
http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/hotdogs
The way I would go about making this safer would be to first of all plug the power cord into a powerstrip, and then into an extension cord; the hotdog and forks would be placed outside on a plate on a hard concrete surface. The extension cord would then be connected to an outlet inside the house, near a window so that the hotdog could be observed at long range; then I would turn on the switch, cook the dog, and then turn it off and UNPLUG it. Then, I would eat my beautiful hotdog!
As a side note...
DO NOT DO ANY OF THE THINGS IN THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HARMED

Rube Goldberg is probably the least lazy lazy person I've ever heard of.
Repetition intended.

Sort of like Rube Goldberg; but with added stupidity or dangerousness; in the example above, cooking hotdogs by using Mains AC Power.

If I said "cooking hotdogs with microwave radiation" that would sound silly and dangerous, too. Cook it with what you like -- it's only the rather daft choice of equipment that makes this dangerous. And frankly this is perfectly safe if you know what you're doing -- which you probably don't so DON'T TRY.

Never gets old, even without the nostalgia goggles.

Actually, it's frankfurter. Frankenfurter was played by Tim Curry.
I think many Garry's Mod videos show extremely funny ways to pull off simple tasks. Also, most contain explosions. Some of the Rube Goldbergs they make are deliciously interesting.
