It looks like the pork base is wrapped in plastic.  That would be a definite smelly mess if it was lit aflame..
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we never know which one is which until we've loved them, left them, or fought them.

That's one very meaty meat-keyboard! I'd like mine well done, please.

(Imagining how one of those could actually work is a bit nightmerish - tendons, cartilage, bones... argh - but a simple membrane keyboard would probably be easy. You just need a tissue with pressure sensitive nerves running through it, like skin, and... ok, ok, this one is also nightmerish!)

"Please remove the wrapping before cooking" :D

So, what next? Pizza-made albuns?

Here’s another nice one in the Earth is a Death World genre. I’m not sure if this is actually a collaborative short story, a joke, poetry even? But it’s entertaining!

"Yes, yes, 'Esteemed Invasion Commander', I heard you - no need to beat me again with that wet fluke of yours. So you plan to erect an off-planet base where your troops can catch their breath without any threat from Earth's fauna and flora, and without your ships being rendered immobile because they have to serve as space stations. And you want to put it on the Moon."

Yes, I'm aware that those bears actually did not survive their arrival.
