A Completely Silly and Pointless Question

[Jerry Roosevelt]

Maybe the trees have different strengths...

The tree did seem sturdy, but that branch...

[Zylo]

Most trees ARE sturdy until they die and rot...or I set fire to them. Nothing like watching a tree go up in flames...a friend of mine almost got arrested for setting one on fire...it was a napalm experiment gone horribly out of control.

The fact stands that a tree, a stream, and part of a yard were ingulfed in an inferno. Whee.

and you didn't catch it on video?! shame on you!

[Burning Sheep Productions]

Aww, I wanna see that now.

[Dr. Dos]

When you cause a body of water to catch on fire, you know you've done good.

[norsenerd]

Or sombody's doen bad. [cough] Ohio [/cough] Ahhem. [cough] Ohio [/cough]

[Ibon]

The river in my home town has caught on fire. Twice.<br><br>Of course, any skin contact with said river gives horrible skin rash, and dead fish are everywhere. They couldn't adapt to the pollution fast enough...

Napalm floats. Napalm does not want to go out. Here's my friend Tony's recollection of the events of that day:<br><br>It was June, one week before school was out. Tony's friends Zeke and Zeke's brother Mike had invited him over to their house for a summer vacation celebration. The two had the incredible urge to burn something. They aquired some gasoline. They mixed it with detergent to thicken it and make a crude batch of napalm. When I say 'batch,' I mean half a good sized bucket. Anyway, they ignited the napalm, flames go up. Mike, out of stupidity, kicked the bucket a little, knocking some of the burning napalm out of the bucket onto the yard. The fire began to grow. Zeke decided he'd put out the fire with his foot. This, as you may guess, didn't work, and resulted in his shoe catching on fire. Zeke runs into the house, flaming shoe still on, to get water. When he realizes he's torching the carpet, he kicks the show out onto the porch. Zeke gets a large bucket of water, but stubs his toe on the way out the door because he didn't have his shoe on (how ironic) and spills water all over his house. At this point, they get the idea to take the flaming bucket of napalm to the creek behid his house. Zeke doesn't care if he's set on fire (he's been aflame many a time, as you may have guessed by now). Now, originally, there was a small creek behind the house, but it was currently a 50-foot crater as a result of a tank being blown up earlier that year (I didn't hear that full story). Anyway, he literally grabs the bucket of flame at this point and tosses it into the creek/crater. Napalm floats, so there is now a STREAM OF FIRE aroung their house. The spilled napalm had also started a tree ablaze, and the flaming shoe was now scorching the side of the house. At this point, there is an inferno in Zeke's backyard (his parents weren't home at the time), and there's a slight drizzle, so all the smoke is hovering on his house. The flaming creek was burning out, and the flaming shoe was going down couritsy of Mike's jacket. Zeke tried to put down the tree fire (which was still low) by basically ramming his body into the tree. At this point, the neighbors had informed Zeke that the police and fire dept. were on the way. Tony ducked out and ran home, claiming no responsibility for the blaze. The following week, there was an article in the paper about the blaze and the 'unknown arsonist.' Damage was suprisingly minimal, and Zeke is currently at a military acadamy (surprise). Tony's still the biggest pyro I know, but he's smart about pyromania. Anyway, that's a var condensed version of the story.

[Ibon]

There would be a whole lot of chemical companies being dumped in. It's a big river. We're talking river sized river here. You need a boat to cross it. It links into the Great Lakes, after all.

Yay, the uber-cute avatar is back!

[Dr. Dos]

That is one incredible story.
