Ooh i remember the GCSE days! Mg + Hydrochloric acid (dont know the chem symbol!) = Hydrogen! I think!
You'd put them in the test tubes and save up some hydrogen then put a burning candle to it! (didnt mange to burn anything though).
Spilling that acid did result in copying-up on about 20 pages though.

Hmm, I'm a real pyromaniac, no doubt about it. When I was 2, I escaped the homestead 
and made my way through enemy territory to the neighbors house and promptly set fire to it :shock: by finding their strike anywhere matches on the fireplace hearth and proceeded to start striking them and throwing them into a basket full of newspaper. Fortunately for the neighbor, a police officer, he spotted me going into his home and got there in the nick of time to snuff it out and send me back to prison. 
Havn't done any burning of body parts lately, but when I was an ironworker, I was cutting through some angle iron and set my boot on fire. :shock: Talk about a hot foot.

Actually...
After the "hot coal" incident I managed to get myself to the hospital in Fleetwood, where they refused to treat me. It's a "day hospital" or something.
SWMBO flagged down the cops..... who rather insisted that the hospital make sure my (badly) burnt mitt was okay... Bless 'em.

Can you remember the paraffin lamps you used to get on the side of skips? Ive not seen them for years now. Clearly on the side it had stamped DO NOT USE PETROL.
When I was about twelve I lit one using meths . It burned fine not a problem. When I went to blow the lamp out. BANG. I burnt my face quite bad took all my hair off eyebrows went the lot. I can remember running around in a meths fire ball. I had to go to the hospital everyday for a week. Lucky no scars

As students we once stuck 2oz TPA into a text book and set it off by remote, nice crater and confetti but not as impressive as the same charge in a bag of flour.
This is a really really stupid thing to try - DONT DO IT - it's almost certainly illegal and in todays political climate 'just messing around' ain't gonna stop you being detained in Cuba until the press forget about you.

I've already entered my last year and doing my a-levels now, a C grade in all the sciences + maths was plenty good enough for me
): . I looked at an old GCSE paper the other day and couldnt answer a thing :shock: show how useful my secondary education has been!You could say i'm useless with numbers, more of a literature kind of person!
I burnt my tounge showing off that i could put a match out in my mouth, duh. (that was fairly recent as well).
I think this thread should be renamed: How did you burn your eyebrows off ):
I was at school, chemistry lesson. We had to set the old bunson burners up,tripod etc.. I struck a match and told my mate to turn on the gas tap, he fiddled about then finally opened it.
Well at school we had taps that had two nozzles and guess what one he opened...
Thanks to him taking so long about it, I had dropped the match straight onto the one NOT connected to the burner - Got a face full of flame and said goodbye to my eyebrows :rolmao:
Teacher missed it all
