can i cook myself?!
Discussion
waaay off topic this one but was wondering...
what temperature does it have to be to cook yourself at?! Many a time have woken up with the heating blasting and the door and windows shut and wondered how hot it'd have to be to cook yourself over say 12 hours ( one good night nurse dosage sleep! )
not that i want to just wondering if there's every been an instance of someone doing it by mistake
busy day

40 odd degrees centigrade starts breaking down your cells.
If you burn yourself badly your flesh smells something like a cross between chicken and pork...
what about over a long period of time ie a slow roast?!
You need more ingredients for that, a couple of footballers for a start

Dunno, cant be too high as dogs die in hot cars...
And again for that the temperature depends on the dog.
African wild dogs (thin coat, adapted to high temperature environments) will happily thrive in temperatures that would rapidly kill my samoyeds (thick heavy coat, subcutaneous fat layer, arctic breed).
Access to water will also affect that.
Providing you could sweat enough, you could theoretically withstand several hundred degrees C. Obviously there is a limit to how much fluid you can take in, process into sweat and actually sweat out to keep yourself cool, but basically in a low heat, slow bake sort of temp, you'd have to die before you'd start cooking.
Not cooking, but maybe a gentle poaching?...
Bloomburg News Service, 25 March
A terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas. There was no mark on his body but autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage (and a couple of other things). It was just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing from the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal. But the man was shut up in his near airtight bedroom. He was "...a big man with a huge capacity for creating [this deadly gas]." Three of the rescuers got sick and one was hospitalized.

When sleeping in a room with a temp of well over 30 degrees I would go through about 2L of water per night to prevent myself from becoming too dehydrated.

You're more likely to die of dehydration first - people survive quite happily for lifetimes in >40-degree heat, so you'd need the room to be at close to double that to start cooking...unlikely in an ordinary home.
But you could quite easily "dessicate" yourself by having the heating on for hours and hours...esp if you've also a dehumidifier running!

I'd recommend a lemon for a more mediterranean feel.
as long as its not chilli!
What are you suggesting????!!!!!!
I dont think he likes you, or at least not up his rear end
But...But, he doesn't even know me....Perhaps after a few drinks, nice dinner etc, etc......
