I didn't do it! But one of my rocket scientist co-workers tried to flame cut a stainless pipe. Kept at it for a good twenty minutes, managed to melt enough of it to pull it apart. Then threw it out and got another that wasn't all warped and blobbed to hell. Anyhoo, I discovered it because it smelled horrible. Is there some known reaction between stainless and acetylene that produces a rancid funk? Toxic? The one guy with the most exposure already has brain damage, so we aren't too worried if it is.
