I am honestly not quite sure how many blog posts I have about Thanksgiving.  It’s probably about 1 per year for 8 years.  I’m going to guess it’s 8.  Here goes my internet search.

This is what I found.

• What is the specific heat capacity of a turkey? Experimental evidence included.
• Could you cook a turkey by just dropping it?  You know, heating from the change in gravitational potential energy on impact?
• How many batteries would it take to cook a turkey?  Electrical cooking.
• Here is another way to cook a turkey by dropping it.  Drop it from a lower height but multiple times.
• Note: the original title for my book Geek Physics (Amazon) was “Can you cook a turkey by dropping it?”  True.
• The physics of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade balloon.  
• Black Friday homework (and some other stuff).  Yes, I know this is not Thanksgiving.
