And a magnesium engine block throws off a lot of heat once you get it lit. It was unpaved at the time.

His father was less than enthused... the police were downright upset... and the firemen were rather impressed. So yeah, I think I considered fire to be a toy. ;) Well, there was one rather interesting time when I used some household chemicals, a volkswagen beetle, and a road flare to turn part of a friend’s driveway into glass.

Jackets and fire don't mix, either. Stupid fire. That has certainly been proven without a shadow of a doubt.

Jackets and fire don’t mix, either.

Stupid fire.

"It's a living thing... it breathes, it eats, and it hates." I always liked De Niro’s line about fire in “Backdraft”.

“It’s a living thing… it breathes, it eats, and it hates.”

Lots of melted hot wheels tires and car junk yards. Damaged army men and plastic vehicles. The only thing hotter than fire, was that liquid plastic. I also played with electricity. I would take old speakers and wire the cluster from my ceiling in my bedroom. Then either I would flip the light switch or leave it for an unsuspecting friend. The sound, sparks and smell are like fond memories. I just built a filter for my pond using a number of those same techniques. The Koi are very happy!
