He may be toast but he looks more like an unbaked loaf. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.

As a kid we had one not too different from that. It excelled at toasting very thick slices as long as you kept an eye on it.Originally Posted by UCanoe_2

Loved it!. Almost anything done well is a joy really.
Thanks for posting.
This reminds me of the tablesaw injury thread.
Have you ever seen anything that looks that dangerous?
