August 27, 2012 / bubble bubble toil and trouble, cold, hot, i would still try to eat that i don't care how many times you tell me it'll melt my hands off, lava, learning by looking, mixing and mingling, neato, some like it hot and others -- others do not, video, when worlds collide, wtf did i just watch and can i put my finger in it?

SPOILER: It doesn't explode :(

This is a video from Syracuse University of some homemade lava with a temperature of around 1371°C (~2500°F) being poured over a six-foot slab of ice. Personally, I think it looks like a cheese pizza but that's just me and I haven't had anything to eat today except a breakfast bar. So yeah, lava on ice. Pretty neat, Syracuse, but I've seen Disney on Ice so it's gonna be hard to top that.

Hit the jump for the video.
