Oh man. I remember this from '94. What a trip down memory lane.

Totally! Fun times.

A friend and I used the "www.example.com/~username" webspace that came w/ our dialup accounts to make our own "site" with "experiments" inspired by this one around the same time. (Nothing involving fire, sadly.) We borrowed heavily from the tone. We even tried to make use of gratuitous initialisms, too.

This is the bit that always made me laugh:

At this point, the researchers also realized that the heat could inadvertently melt the adhesive cellophane and cause the flaming SPTs to suddenly eject from the toaster. Unfortunately, this did not occur.
