Weird Science, baby!Because we here at Voracious World Headquarters are always looking

Weird Science, baby!Because we here at Voracious World Headquarters are always looking out for you, we want to bring you nothing but the best, most interesting and most timely news about food and restaurants in Seattle and the wider world.But we also understand that sometimes you just want to see stuff blow up. Or watch a scrap of carpet sing about bacon. Or see hamburgers and sushi fighting each other.Which is why today, we’ve scoured the web looking for the weirdest, funniest, geekiest food videos of all time. There’s absolutely no news value here. It’s just an excuse to watch some strangeness and have a laugh at the expense of others.You’re welcome.For starters, how ’bout a complete history of American warfare, from WWII through the war in Iraq, waged completely by food items? Disturbingly, this even includes a cheeseburger 9/11 that is either a genius bit of social commentary or just plain wrong. You can decide which.This is why I sometimes feel the uncontrollable urge to punch every theater major I see. It’s also why I avoid shopping malls altogether.Every food geek dreams nightly of pork products gifted with the ability to levitate right off the plate and into their mouths. This is their theme song.You can’t have a geeky food video countdown without including something about molecular gastronomy. And while I love the work done by our own Seattle Food Geek, this thing? It’s just on a whole other level. There’s three big reasons why I love it. First, it deals with sphericalization, which is pretty much the first trick attempted by any nascent food geek the minute he gets ahold of some syringes and a bag of alginate. Second, the production values are right up there with the worst of those industrial training films made during the 1980’s, complete with weird dissolves, accidental smash cuts and text spinning onto and off the screen like the worst MTV 120 Minutes promo ever. And third? Not a word of dialog. Just rap music with a disco backbeat and absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with food, ravioli or chemistry.100,000 watt microwave candy mutations? There’s trying too hard and then there’s trying WAY too hard. Funny usually comes somewhere in between. And it helps if marshmallow Peeps are involved.It starts with a video montage and a song about bacon and rocketry, then ends with explosions and some dude’s house nearly getting lit on fire. Sounds just like a weekend at my place, honestly. But I’ve never thought to have a camera rolling.
