Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

The Joys Of ChemistryMr Sagar, if you're reading this, the whole of the old fourth year salutes you...
Mr Sagar was conducting an experiment to show how well sulphur burns in oxygen. He fills a little glass gas cylinder with 02 and proceeds to lower the burning sulphur into the pure oxygen. But nothing happens.
Mr Sagar remedies this by getting the HUGE tank of pure liquid oxygen, and jamming the nozzle into the cylinder. Cue huge explosion, 4 foot long flame, most of us on the front row losing at least some hair, and Mr Sagar dancing like a small man on fire trying to put his head and labcoat out...
Aaaaaaaaaah.......halcyon days....
