"My Pocket is Getting Hot..."
This is what we heard at dinner last night. Let me paint the scene for you... Chef Big Mike had marinated some pork chops in VT maple syrup, honey, and cane sugar. I had made Stove Top cornbread stuffing (which I then baked to make it crunchy), and we had succotash...a new thing for Big Mike (and he liked it). Anyhow the kids were watching TV as it was 7:30 pm and they had already eaten. It was a nice relaxing dinner, everyone was enjoying the pork chops which pleased Big Mike as his chicken was "lacking flavor" the previous night. Anyhow we were relaxing until we heard Neil (in previous post picture) yell and toss all contents of his pocket onto the table. We were thinking he had lost it until we passed around a quarter from his pocket and realized he was fine, it was his pocket that was strange. The quarter was piping hot, but why? Here is a list of what was in Neil's pocket: two AA batteries, the keys to the Freestyle, and probably 43 cents in change? Something interacted with something else and the stuff in Neil's pocket could hardly be held. Poor Neil, he goes from enjoying a nice pork chop to blistering his thigh. Anything is possible I guess.

Given the shirt Neil had on in the previous post I would say anything is possible along the lines of a hot quarter in his pocket.
Very true...maybe spare change and batteries become combustible when exposed to large amounts of plastic.

Hey if I had been wearing the shirt in the previous post when my change became radioactive, I have no doubt that the plastic on my $2 shirt would have melted onto my skin...I make sure and wear non-conductive clothes whenever I'm concerned that my pocket contents will go awall
