PyromaniagainSome of my erstwhile University friends and I decided it would be a fantabulous idea to fill a split tennis ball to the brim with matchheads, then burn it to see what happened.
It took a long time to snap off them matchheads, but the development of our hypothesis was sketchy, if I'm brutally honest.
"I think it'll burn for a really long time? Maybe there will be sparks/excitement/ball jumping around action!"
The result?-It did burn for AGES (maybe an hour) and released some really foul brown smoke. Not much else. The neighbours told us to stop burning things in the back yard.
We didn't. We found that the best things for burning were empty pizza boxes - they went up like a light.
