What were you doing with that toaster earlier?
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
A scientific experiment. Its alright, I cleaned everything up afterwards.

Toast
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
Toast?
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Yeah, toast.
Have you ever noticed that when you toast bread it takes ages to do anything then as soon as you turn your back its burnt to a crisp?
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
Yes, but how is that a scientific experiment?
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Well my theory is that when bread senses you have turned your back it spontaneously combusts. So I decided to test it.
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
And?
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Nothing. I didn't manage to prove a thing.
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
This is worth investigating Gwen. I have long wondered about the secret life of toast.
Spontaneous combustion.
Landing butter side down.
We need a scientific brain in on this. I'll get Tosh to give you a hand.
