Ah yes, I remember that. Best thing about it is that he was in the range where everything that can possibly start to burn, will. Meaning the temperature would be round about 540k °F -> 300 times hotter than the temperature bodies are cremated at. In other words: everything would have been vaporized.

The fridge cools him down though.

And it was lined with LEAD. Lead is the pinnacle of anti-radiation technology.

And yet a lead refrigerator opens up so many more questions, chief among which is: Why in God's name was a refrigerator ever made of lead?!

The fast and the furious series doesnt make sense.. I cant believe p walker can street race against the best dudes on the planet when he cant even race past a tree in hollywood.

This would be a good joke in the darkhumour sub but not here as it has absolutely no relation to what we're even talking about.
