An Experiment I Conducted Last Night
I was wondering about the fire safety of cigarettes. I took a piece of printer paper set it on my dest and set a lit cigarette directly on top of it. I let it burn for about 5 minutes and it did very little to the paper. It certainly did not come close to starting a fire.
I found this pretty wild considering that a cigarette was meant to burn yet technology allows it to not start fires very well. It is interesting to notice how it burns in just such a way that it consumes itself without causing much heat around it. Feel free to comment. Also feel free to conduct your own experiment and share the results. |

Re: An Experiment I Conducted Last Night
I once lit a bottle rocket with a blunt while on mushrooms because I didn't think it would happen. It was pointing at my friend cuz I wanted to scare him. Things can start burning from a cherry.
On a side note one guy thought the bottle rocket went in his ear, another guy flipped his chair upside down and remained sitting in it, and I thought I burned off all facial hair holding onto the thing so it didn't go all over my house. |

There's a little leprechaun that lives inside my head. He tells me to burn things.

I remember tossing a cigarette in a frisbee filled with gas when I was fourteen or so. Much to my disappointment it went out.
