styrofoam melts when it comes in contact with gasoline creating this god awful gooey mess that, since its mixed with gasoline now is much like napalm. its sticky and extremely flamable...not to mention toxic when burning

Susan has oft commented, when hearing of my youthful exploits, about how surprised she is that I am alive today.

If I recall correctly, it gave us about a 2 foot flame across the entire width of the street.

It burned for a half hour. We all went to our respective homes after a few minutes when it was no longer funny and we started panicking.

The funny part is that it didn't really phase any of our neighbors - they were used to such antics from us.

Ok, that sounds like fun!

mmm homemade napalm...

note to anyone reading: while it sounds like fun, I am not crazy/dumb enough to do such a thing. as an adult.

Wow, and I thought crazy glue on styrofoam was amusing...

Today I fear I am too patient

It's Tuesday October Twenty third. Today we hear from NASA, the one government agency I typically see as the good guys. Today's fear of the day is:

THE TRUTH

That's right, Ye shall know the truth and the truth.... well to be honest it might just scare you so we better bury it for your protection.

Why is NASA involved with the airlines?

Planes struck by falling space junk?

My personal fear of the day - that I might be making too many assumptions, or rather I'm not challenging enough of them.

The fear of the truth is the fear of the day but if the report had been released then fear of runway collisions would be the fear of the day.

I'm not too bothered by the latter one. Even if the risk is increased at those airports it still appears to be pretty small as I don't recall the last time there was a runway collision at SFO.

The Fear of the day:

The Heavens themselves.

Apparently earth is looking down the barrel of a galactic shotgun.
