Our parish priest and his wife were given a canning pressure
cooker as a gift at some point (i think when he entered seminary -
he'd been a Combat Engineer in WW2), and decided to do something
involving apples - i forget what precisely - and something went
wrong.
And the pressure-relief blew off.
Mr Sparks said he'd neveractually to see a geyser of (scalding)
applesauce.
He also said that when they moved out of that apartment to move to
Fountain Inn and our church, you could still see the applesauce
stains on the ceiling.
Vaguely apropos of that: I took a course in strobe photography at
MIT back in the 1970s, taught by the guy who'd been Doc Edgerton's
assistant for years and years (Edgerton himself was Emeritus by
then, thought he still dropped in occasionally). One of the things
we did was to take high-speed "rifle bullet slicing through a
playing card" photos. One of us asked why we couldn't re-create
Edgerton's famous shot of a bullet going through an apple, with
clouds of apple pulp exploding out both behind and ahead of the
bullet.
Response: "Because when we did it we were cleaning applesauce up
in the lab for a month."
