How To Have Fun With Fire

First of all, a word about this spectacle. I know most people, well, 99.99% of the people who look at this website are thinking that we're absolutely crazy for even thinking about lighting ourselves on fire. That is most likely true. However, with the way we went about doing this it was really no crazier than jumping off a 30 foot cliff into 20 foot deep water. In my mind, I sincerely doubt that I would ever jump off something that high voluntarily since I am so scared of heights. But light myself on fire? Bring it on!!
We started lighting things on fire three years ago. It was the end of October, 1999, Thursday night at 1:00 in the morning. I was going crazy from stress. I had a chem 111 quiz at 8:00 that I hadn't even begun to study for, and a lot of other homework projects to worry about. So we started lighting things on fire. Namely, the thing we lit on fire was a pumpkin.
A little while later we progressed to rubbing alcohol. We found out that if you soak a sponge, or a sock in it, you can throw it around and not get hurt. It burns at a really low temperature. We had a bowl of flaming alcohol. We dipped an unlit match in it, and pulled it out. It was on fire, but it was only burning the alcohol. By the time the alcohol had burnt out, the match was still unsinged. Not one bit of it had burnt, not even the head of the match. We figured we could try this on ourselves, and it wouldn't hurt. Eventually we progressed to whole human bodies!!

To see the videos, click on their link. If that doesn't work, right click on the link and click on 'Save Target As' Also, the video has some incredible music in the background. Most of the videos have sound, so you'll want to get some speakers or some headphones or something to listen to it with.
By the way, I already know the spelling isn't correct.

If you are writing to lecture me on the stupidity of this, remember: I've done this 5 times now, that's right - 5! And each time I've done it I've used the same shirt. If my shirt hasn't even gotten singed, then in all honesty, how stupid is it? And how likely am I to burn up in a horrible ball of fire, if my clothing has remained untouched?
Not to be rude, but I'm not a big fan of being lectured, and I figure the above paragraph should help to preempt that from occurring. So laugh about it, have fun, because I sure am! If you so desire, visit my blog: http://candidbyu.blogspot.com.
