:shock: :shock: :shock:

I mean these were not even kids...they were young adults really...anyone knows you gotta be mad to fill anything with petrol and light it expecting it to glow...let alone a fluorescent tube which if they break would probably slice your hands up nicely!!!

I remember a time i had a bbq party at my parents when i was 15 and in my drunken state on a lethal cocktail of white lightening and mad dog 20/20 i decided it was a great idea to syphon some petrol from my dads mower and use it to reignite glowing coals...needless to say they reignited faster than i thought and we had a mushroom cloud over my house...which was an awesome sight for all....the eyebrows grew back eventually!!! :shock:

They were 17 & 20 years old & not smart enough to know what's gonna happen when they pour fuel into a fluorescent light tube & ad flame????

There's no way they could have use that program, no way.

Forget homemade lightsabers...I am about to test my "home made" speeder bike replica that i knocked up over the BH weekend. Should be a blast as i have strapped a nice heavy v8 chevy engine to a few bits of scaffold and have a lovely set of chopper handlebars...i am so confident its like the real ones on Return of the Jedi that i am gonna take it off the local clifftop just to show my mates how it zips through the air. 8)
