From Popular Science:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Why would a man construct a dining-room table that can cruise down a racetrack at 130 miles an hour and shoot flames into the air? Sheer competitiveness. A record for the world\u2019s fastest furniture existed\u201492 mph on a sofa\u2014and Perry Watkins wanted to beat it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;The resulting vehicle, dubbed Fast Food, smoked the record, clocking an average speed of 113.8 miles per hour. But it was the trimmings that really wowed onlookers. Watkins bolted real dishware to the table, as well as a variety of authentic-looking foods, including gravy made of fiberglass resin. The helmeted diner is actually a mannequin.<\/p>\n<p>Watkins is the real man behind the wheel, with his head barely visible underneath a plastic chicken on a platter. The chicken is quasi-functional: Before kicking in, the nitrous system purges excess air through a tube leading to the fake fowl. \u201cA six-foot plume of white smoke comes out of the chicken\u2019s backside,\u201d Watkins says. He figures that\u2019s probably a world record too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">[youtube:http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BMenagsYWHY]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Gotta hand the guy points for being inventive, lol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">(h\/t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aol.com\/food\/?kdwp=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slashfood<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, this is frivolous, but I couldn&#8217;t resist.
