The show "Burn Notice" on USA Network revolves around an agent of one of those security agencies that has been "burned", or stripped of his job, had his clearances revoked, his assets frozen, and been dumped in Miami to more or less fend for himself. He makes money using his skills to help out people in tight binds. In the episode Thursday night he's mixing up a batch of thermite, while his voice-over is explaining that it burns at very high temperatures, so hot that it's used to weld railroad ties together. Excuse me? Weld railroad *TIES*? A bit of a faux pas by the scriptwriter there. :-{D
