hehi remember when i was about 13 or so i almost burned down our house when a smoke bomb i was making went off on the stove and shot a pretty multi-colored flame almost up to the ceiling.
i'll tell you about it more here.
you know that if you mix salt-petre with sugar in a 2:1 ratio that'll make a nice flare. well i was making this in a used tin can on the kitchen stove and i put a home made fuse into it. went out and tried to set it off, but the fuse wouldnt catch due to the wind, so i decided to take it back it, remelt it, and stick in some matches. while doing this oh so intelligent thing the can got hot and set the whole bugger up and then 'WHOOSH!', huge flame reaching almost up the ceiling and smoke coming out from it and covering everything. im screaming for my ma at this point and she rushes in getting ready to throw a pot over it when it went out. the freaking kitchen walls where never the same color again. turned yellow. after this ma made me do all my mad scientist experiments in the garage.
