ם Saving the World with Bubblegum and an Umbrella

In the ever escalating race of “justifying the internet’s existence,” Wikipedia strikes again with a list of problems solved by MacGyver.

Despite MacGyver’s best efforts, an eagle he is trying to save doesn’t make it, and its young are at stake. After hang gliding to the nest on top of a butte in Monument Valley, Utah, MacGyver brings the eggs back to the house where this episode takes place. To give the young a chance, he builds an incubator with padding from a chair and vegetable oil. As MacGyver puts it, “the oil combines with the fibers in the padding to create a low level spontaneous combustion,” generating heat.

Thanks, Wiki.
