My dad was in the US Marine Corps and when we saw that episode of Mythbusters he proceeded to tell me how they used to use the powdered creamer packets in their MREs to help start fires.. Or rather to play with fire.
They also used to stuff the heating elements from them into water/gatorade bottles (The gatorade bottles are apparently better, because they have thicker plastic and can build up more pressure before blowing) with a bit of water and put the caps on so they'd explode.

I used to be a bartender, and I had a regular who liked to carry $2 bills to tip with. He told me that he used to have a friend who worked at a print shop and he'd have them bound like a tear-away notepad for the lolz.i learned this yesterday

I always found it amusing, and just took his word for it, and now here I am wondering if he just heard about the Woz doing it and stole the anecdote from him

Today I learned that the Ramjet Engine can safely combust at temperatures of 2400K (2130°C). That's why they're made out of tungsten and/or molybdenum alloys instead of just any old steel.JET FUEL DOESN'T BURN THAT HOT!!!
Today I also learned that there is a such thing as a nuclear ramjet that can theoretically run for months.
