You could minimize it by cooking in more, or fully, saturated oils, but the problem there is they're less liquid to start with. Partial hydrogenation - that is converting many of the double bonds to a single bond and two bonds to hydrogen - is the standard way of converting a vegetable oil into a semi-solid shortening.

Re: GURPS Action 5: Dictionary of Danger
On the general discussion of visceral organ pain, my very worst pain (when I was in my right mind) made me go deaf and gradually the world contracted into a grey tunnel, until all I was left with was literal blinding pain. So that's Agony. It stinks.
I would say that subjectively the pain from acute cluster migraines is actually worse than that was, but it doesn't give me that effect (instead I get a dose of Paralysis and Retching).

Re: GURPS Action 5: Dictionary of Danger
I guess I'm pretty lucky.
While I've had smallish grease burns too many times to count (I worked in a restaurant for a number of years), and I've broken one of my fingers, the worst pain I've ever felt was when they extracted all four of my wisdom teeth. The teeth were just starting to erupt, so my gums had to be sliced open first, and then they removed the teeth. I've had subsequent surgeries, but nothing compares to how bad that felt for about a week afterward. Yet, it sounds like the pain was a lot less than many of you have experienced!

After reading this book I realize that there is almost all the material and toys that Jackie Chan uses in these movies! It's really excellent!
