Things explode when burned

[muffincakes]

Gasoline. Gasoline explodes.

I turned on a heater once, and it just so happened to have a leak in its gas line. Five seconds later, the heater turned into a rather large fireball, and I turned into a small flaming creature(no, not a flame elemental).

Air freshner cans.

I once remember my friends and i found a hill above our town, Got a Cardboard box, a air freshner can, Some popcorn seeds, paper and a lighter.

We Set the paper and Box on fire and ran into a trench (Or what we've nicknamed it now) Next thing we now BOOM, Fire ball in the sky and the Can has rocketed into the sky and popcorn seeds are flying over our heads.

Apparently the can found its way into an alley way, Charred and the bottom completely blown off, those were the days.

And on the plus side it actually did cook some of the popcorn

Are you sure you don't mean "county"? There are cities that define themselves as being in "the country", but in the United States, if you live outside of city limits, that's the county.

Solid Waste is an enterprise utility; like water, sewer, or power. If you have someone who picks up your trash, they either work for an independent contractor (Waste Management is a big one), and you pay them a monthly fee. Or it is an enterprise fund from your Municipality (if not a city, as in your case, the County); that is funded by fees they collect specifically for it, not taxes.

acouple of nice things expload, and as far as stories....

Spoiler: i claim no responsibility if any of you light yourselves on fire doing this, nor do i suggest doing this near grass....

me and my friend made a mini-fire bomb, we used a tenis ball, cut a 1"x1" cross in the ball, used a funnel to fill it with strike-any match tips, a lil bit of kerosene, and the insides of about 10-20 of those tiny paper "popper" things you throw on the ground to make a pop noise... then we duct taped the slit shut, soaked the tenis ball in kerosene, and then duct taped it again, and soaked it in kerosene one more time for good measure.... throw thoses things at any wall and BOOM

I remember good times if great joy at the Leeds Festival where people were throwing deo cans into fires. Then someone threw their camping stove butane tank in.

Not a happy camper...

A friend of my dads once made a bonfire and covered it in petrol, as you do. He decided that he didn't want to stand next to it and light it so he made a trail of petrol across his garden to a safe distance and threw a match on it. He didn't realise that the grass was wet so the petrol, instead of staying in a line, spread across the garden. In short gardens can explode

I am deaf in my left ear because when I was 3 a bottle rocket tipped over and exploded in my face poping my ear drum to the point where it cant be fixed.

I forget exactly what it was but I was in Walmart and one of the products was poisonous aswell as being corrosive,explosive and flamable. meaning if the explosion and the fire doesnt kill you,then you will be poisoned too.

A can of construction foam once exploded relatively near me. The walls went from a cylinder to a flat sheet and the bottom flew off with such force that it cut into a rock.

Our old party trick was to take those big french bangers (unobtainable in the UK) and stuff one in the neck of an empty milk bottle. Light the fuse, and you have your very own fragmentation grenade. Great fun.

Not gasoline? Maybe a sealed can of it?

Noone died (if memory serves me correctly)

Still, that'd be an awesome news report - "Flaming beans kill 9 - But they tasted damn good."

Pretty much, yeah.

Although I doubt it would actually make the papers.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, really immature joke that didn't make any sense, I apologize. I'm too tired to think.

Aaanyway..

Does barrels of gasoline explode? Games taught me that, but I can't trust them anymore! Not after what the Wii did to that poor little girl.

Not unless you're using incendiary ammo. regular or tracer ammo just isn't hot enough to do it, so at most you'll get a trail of gas pouring out of the can
