I liked your math joke, and your pumpkin tip. Nice work.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that this year. =D

Petroleum jelly is flammable, but not very, because it is not very volatile

and so the supply of oxygen necessary for combustion is limited. Basically you'd have better luck lighting your farts on fire.

I hope you don't plan on putting a candle in it.. LIKE YOUR SUPPOSED TO....

something that I've found that works (and i don't have to smear petroleum jelly on it *thank god*) is WD-40. Some say "It's flammable oh muh god!" but it's flammable when it is vaporized. so spray it all over with that and make sure there isn't a candle in it (but that can be fun) and it works well. I can also not have to smear petroleum jelly on anything...ever...hopefully...

I would try silicon conformal coating (used for making circuit boards water resistant). Much easier and cleaner to apply, although not as readily available as Petroleum Jelly. Anyone here who happens to watercool their computer may have some though :D.
