Electric knife, Hip and buttock padding Options

[Emperor]

This is the entirety of the Wikipedia "Electric knife" article.

An electric knife or electric carving knife is an electrical kitchen device used for slicing hard-to-slice foods. The advantage of an electric knife is less physical effort is required and it is easier to make cleaner slices. The device consists of two serrated blades that are clipped together. When the appliance is switched on the blades continuously move sideways to provide the sawing action.

They are also sometimes used for other purposes, such as shaping polyurethane foam rubber to make hip and buttock padding.

Electric knives are either corded or cordless.

Make sure you follow the link for "hip and buttock padding". Donors, are you listening?

"continuously move sideways"

Is that why you can never find the damn thing after you've used it? ...and I've never found a chicken particularly "hard to slice". Indeed, the only useful factual information in that article is the hip and buttock padding.

Thank goodness for the many eyes of Wikipedia ensuring wrong information will soon be deleted.

I think electric knives are like ArbCom, sounds useful, but once you've tried it, count your fingers carefully - and what a racket that goes with it!

...and I've never found a chicken particularly "hard to slice".

Agreed that it's overkill to electrically slice a chicken, but let me tell you -- a turkey's succulence is vastly improved by cutting wafer-thin slices using an electric carving knife. Many thanks to my brother-in-law for toting his electric knife over to our house on Thanksgiving Day. It was a stupendous experience, and I myself was an "electric doubter" prior to that day.

Indeed, the only useful factual information in that article is the hip and buttock padding.

The external link that was destroyed by Krimpet's meddling actually contained a nice bit of information about the pros and cons (and care of) electric knives. I'm still undecided on whether the information about using these knives to partition corpses was helpful to the encyclopedia, but it was certainly as helpful as or more helpful than the business about hip and buttock padding.

I mean, if we're going to talk about using the knives in these unusual fashions, why not get 'em all in there? There's apparently an application in the varied fields of foam wedding cake models, chicken 'n fruit pinwheels, sawing off dead foot tissue, and oatmeal carmelitas -- to name just a few!

I thought Wikipedia is supposed to be the "sum of human knowledge", isn't it?

It's more like a "Jimbo's crazy collection of transgender and transvestism nuggets o' knowledge".

Krimpet really should receive a 24-hour block, since he's clearly disrupting the encyclopedia project with his WP:OR.

The sight of my 85 year old father wielding one made me a non-believer for evermore (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif)
