Radio Frequencies Help Burn Salt Water

John Kanzius happened upon the discovery accidentally when he tried to desalinate seawater with a radio-frequency generator he developed to treat cancer. He discovered that as long as the salt water was exposed to the radio frequencies, it would burn.

The discovery has scientists excited by the prospect of using salt water, the most abundant resource on earth, as a fuel.

Hmmmm...isn't human blood rather salty, also? I can see the DOD nerds at DARPA now, thinking, hey,
we gotta new weapon! And the blood will burn in some middle eastern country. Aarrggh! The pollution and radio-freq destruction of our precious bodily fluids!

These are certainly Dr. Strangelove times. I find myself living in some dark, surreal version of my youth's future.
