Science Saturday

[featherynscale]

Today's experiment:
What burns when you touch it to an easy-light charcoal incense burner briquette?

Results:

Lights on fire:
- A match

Doesn't light on fire:
- Raffia
- Tissue paper (2-ply)
- Tissue paper (1-ply)
- Newsprint
- A q-tip
- Vodka (80 proof)
- Whisky (86 proof)
- Rubbing alcohol (at this point, we gave up on the alcohol line of pursuit)
- triadruid's beard

Special bonus finding: Winter sucks, snow sucks, and I am tired of being cold.

It was an attempt to figure out visually non-obvious way to light a fire.
triadruid mentions the incense results already, and we have no results for fingers, as kittenpants strongly discouraged us from picking up live coals of any sort. Once again, science is thwarted by good sense.
