The Stinkymeat project at thespark.com:

The Stinkymeat project at thespark.com: If you are eating, skip this. TheSpark documents what happens when you put three different meats (steak, ground beef and hot-dogs) on a plate for 19 days under the broiling sun. This is like those projects we did in grade three where we let various objects rot in glass jars and documented their dessication. Only TheSpark uses his unwitting neighbor's back yard instead of a jar, and documents the "progress" of the stinkymeat with more wit than Mr Denchasi's grade three class at Crestview Public School mustered.

As for the meat itself - I am speechless. I brought my stirring utensil with me, fully prepared to churn the goop in full circular motions. Instead, I found that it resisted all my attempts.

It has somehow become a singular solid object. The picture above demonstrates its elasticity. It reminds me of fake rubber vomit. This gives me horrible ideas and makes me wish I had enemies.

I can only hope this strange state is permanent, but I feel it will revert to gelatin as it ages.

If the experiment was over, and I had gloves on, I'd be tempted to see if I could use it as a meat frisbee.
