I knew it was... If you throw a cigarette into a container of gasolene, the gas - in this state a liquid - will extinguish the cigarette.

It is funny to see the look on people's faces when you do this right before you explain the concept to to them...

Yeah, and it's still a good way to win free money in party/bar bets. Very Happy If you know what you're doing you can douse a lit match with gas. It's not the gas, it's the oxygen.

I moved my bike into the ktchen when I lived in Biddeford Maine. Worked on it the whole winter. Landlord was never home and didn't really care. I didn't get into the trouble this guy did.
