Soaked the carpet and set the furniture all afloat.
232 years ago, a British scientist named Charles Blagden conducted an experiment to see how much heat a person can take. He designed a room and heated it initially to 211 degrees Fahrenheit—one degree below the temperature water boils at—and had three Englishmen sit in it. Over time, the temperature was increased, and its effect on the subjects recorded. These subjects also included a raw egg, a raw steak, and a live dog. Watch the video to see how it turned out.
