Thermal Failure FAQ
Q: Why did my house burn down?
Why is it always a good idea to leave a hair dryer on for hours while you're out?
It's not, it's not, it's not! That's just a recipe for disaster! Please don't do that.
Q: What is the proper procedure for putting out a fire?
Do you just... just stand there and stare at it?
No, no, no! You must run away from it while flailing your arms like a flamingo!
Q: Can I use a firehose to cool down my engine while it's overheating?
Will it not just... sort of... make it worse?
No, of course not. That's not at all what that hose is for. It's for... uh... washing your cat, I think.
