Being a twat
Back in the days of GCSE Chemistry, me and a good friend made a terrible, shocking discovery. The little sticks of wood used to light Bunsen burners (amongst other things) *burned*!

Of course, the next thing to do was to get several handfulls of them, and to make a bonfire on the desk. This was large, fiery, and smoky, so obviously the teacher noticed. She ran over, threw a fire blanket over it and told us off. Of course, being petulant little shits, we immediately relit it. Causing her to come running back over, to put a permanent end to proceedings with a beaker of water.

Or so she thought. Through the acquisition of fresh fuel, and the hot end of a Bunsen, we got it burning again. As the room began to fill with smoke, the teacher once again realised what was going on. And put a stop to it.

By throwing a full bucket of water over the desk, myself, and my friend.

It worked, and there is no doubt that we thoroughly deserved it.
