If you pour lighter fluid down the chimney bit, the flames shoot up the chimney in a sort of flamey mushroom cloud this lighting your sleeve and taking all the hair off your arms and hands.
    A good way to panic your mother is to take one of the lighter gas cannisters and sort of stab it all over your jeans. Then you apply a flame to your jeans whilst saying 'Hey Mum, look at this'. Leave it for a bit before swiping a hand across the flames and putting it out.

    My ears did sting for a bit after that stunt.

      When I was younger, I got some oil on my recently aquired levis. I was advised by an older, and wiser, brother, to put a bit of petrol on the oil, light, swipe over to put out, and repeat, and that after a few goes, the oil would disappear and no mark would remain.

      However, he forgot to tell me how much petrol and my parents had to roll me about a bit in the garden to put me out. I remember in the panic of it, running around the garage screaming in a bundle of flames, to hear my dad shout, get him out of there before he damages something.

In the evening I lit the home made incendiary bomb and almost took my windows out with the sudden blast. Luckily I had the sense to light a block of wood and lob it at the pile of crap from 10 foot away, or I would have been knocked on my back from the blast wave

        We have some pictures somewhere. The flames where up past next doors roof.

        Guy from next door came over and asked if we wanted to call the fire brigade
        I now realise that all that time I spent playing with fire when young was not time misspent.

          and the torturing and killing of small furry defenceless animals?

          Serial killers start in this way. I've seen CSI & NCIS

            He was an idiot but burns are not funny. Laughing at another person being seriously burnt is sadistic.

              Petrol? How can you fail to make fire without cheating in this weather? A matchstick or a bit of tissue would be more than enough surely.

                      Its not the dumbest thing he might have tried...

                      For instance He could have came home drunk from the pub and heated a tin of baked beans in his mums newly built in microwave

                      Cost me a months wages did that little stunt
