Awesome, Tim!

I managed to open a tin of baked beans without a tin opener.
Here's the summary:

I flew to Australia, on Air New Zealand flight 203.

I hired a Tojo, filled up with petrol and drove to Broken Hill.

I prospected for several weeks until I found the right lump of ore.

I smelted the ore, until I had enough molten metal to make a good spike.

I stabbed the baked bean tin with the spike to make a hole big enough to
allow a bean through.

I heated the can to produce enough internal pressure to force some of
the beans and sauce through the hole.

I quickly smelted some more metal to make a plate and spoon.

I rocked out to baked beans!
