I'm forseeing a new addition to the Darwin awards in the near future

By what stretch of the imagination do you feel able to class yourself as one
of 'the best of us'. Considering you were trying to set fire to flash powder,
using a match. Then having the intelligent enough to lean in closer to a highly
volatile mixture.

What a shame it wasn't a larger pile.........

brilliantly put bezelden

hah, numerator, I have the same mask. Where in Aus are you, again?

southern highlands nsw,

In school we used to have a science club where we made various chemical mixtures and flash powders and some other fun things, and we could never get home made fuses working right so we ended up making a butane trail (from a squeeze lighter fluid bottle) and just lighting that :P

somehow i doubt they but butane in a squeeze bottle. naptha and naptha based lighter fluids yes, but butane wouldnt work for shit to use as a "fuse"

using flammable liquids isnt too bright. buy fuse, make fuse, use e match. all work better

speaking of your little science club thing....in MO theres an explosive camp with their U....500 dolla for a week. might have to go to that haha

butane would evaporate pretty much instantly anyway

Natural selection at work. No, lol jk but you might want to see a doc. One time i was playing with fireworks and lit it right? The fuse burned down and then... nothing. I wait a bit then i pick it up to check it over and it goes off in my hands. So I ran up to my room and cried into my pillow. lol.

lol, once at my friends, the one lighting the fireworks was a little tipsy and was extremely close to getting smoked with a rocket style firework
