  • lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllll you have yourself on your matches

  • MEOW. MEOW. MEOW. MEOW.

    

  • did he really threw that phosphorus??

  • Ferrocerium is not flint, but lying and simplification are often great teaching tools.

  • @timfha I think all of series #1 was contradictory! In series #2 and the series that follow we follow safety rules.

  • it seems contradictory to me that you wear a glove to pick up a match but can easily run your fingers across some scissors :)

  • meow meow meow....LOL

  • it was my cat... my cat did it XD

  • This is as funny as it is fascinating.

  • The lighter was invented before the match, so it wasnt that hard to get a flame before the invention of the match... -.-
