Recently, we’ve been contemplating how not to light our house on fire this Thanksgiving. Luckily, Good Morning America decided to start a grease fire and demonstrate how to put it out properly. Except it didn’t really work. Gawker.TV has the video here.

So, take home message: Don’t light a boiling pot of grease on fire. As for the rest of you, have a great Thanksgiving – and if you happen to have an extra special Thanksgiving, we’d love to hear about it.
