Question for the day

Why would someone make an oven mitt out of what turned out to be flammable materials?

I know just what you mean - they are quite thick and awkward - but mine make me feel all safe and invulnerable, and I love them!

Louis Wu's impact armor was thick and awkward when it was doing its job too. Not the same in other respects, but I think in those terms when I use my new silicone oven mitts!
