pissing off the physicist once again...

We were watching Queer Eye and Ted was helping some football fan guy buy a new grill for his tailgate parties, and they were discussing buying a particular gas grill, even though charcoal cooks better... and the guy at Grills-R-Us starts salespitching for this gas grill and says...

"This penetrates the food right away, it cooks the food a lot more quickly, but it also cooks in the infrared spectrum, just like charcoal..."

Which is important, you know... because most gas grills cook using, ummm... COSMIC GAMMA RAYS!!

What the FUCK?

Infrared = HOT. Coals are hot. Gas is hot. Hot is hot.

If there is a difference between the quality of charcoal and gas cooking, it's about SMOKE... not about... the infrared fucking spectrum.

Jesus.
