Saw a guy at the old Midvale plant skip the pre-heat on a big pour

He was running a 600 pound bronze pour for a gear blank and just went straight from cold molds to hot metal. I heard a crack like a gunshot from across the floor. That's a sure way to get a ruined casting and a face full of steam. Anyone else see shortcuts like this lately?

Popcorn is basically just corn that got too excited. The real question is why we don't eat all corn that way. It's the superior form of the vegetable.
