I hope this falls within the guidelines of humor here:
This is humor, not real news, but a fairly convincing fake news story...
"Humane" Beheading Machine replaces lethal injection in Ohio
http://theync.com/funny/ohio-replaces-lethal-injection-with-humane-new-head-ripping-off-machine.htm
IMO, a wonderfully ironic commentary on the current absurd state of capital punishment.
Another thing which might make more sense than lethal injection would be to bring back crucifixion?
...what would the Romans do?

Well ... I'm fairly sure it wasn't from this!
But it sounds like it could be a line from EastEnders.
Funny what passes for excitement in a country like that....hehehehe

Look on the date this is from a while back
That said the idea of burning cheese is not that unusual, the traditional method of assessing the calorific output of food is to measure the heat given off when you burn it in a calorimeter.
A lot of fatty high calorie foods are intensely flammable. The destruction of Rotterdam in 1940 was intensified because German bombs hit storage tanks full of vegetable oil which carried flames into the city centre.
Other foods can burn almost as well. Just last month a set of grain silos in Evendale, Ohio caught fire following what appears to have been a dust explosion.
Evandale Grain Silo Explosion
Fire is a very real risk issue in the storage and transport of a lot of foods.
yes, just came on it while surfing the BBC News site,Look on the date this is from a while back
it's come back into the 'most viewed' list,
I guess someone rediscovered it and it went (a bit) viral.
If it were in a tunnel in Switzerland,
they'd be sitting around having a fondue party

Actually they had a fire involving flour and margarine in the Mont Blanc Tunnel 24 March 1999 though sadly it was not remotely funny as 38 people died
