Yet you didn’t explain the state of your lighter after exploding?

I’m in the uk, and when our lighters run out we usually, for fun, chuck them at the ground as hard as possible and they explode. It’s really funny… but anyway they are the cheap plastic lighters with a metal rim at the top where you light the gas… So this is possible.

Brisbane couple Edwina and Dan chose the glouiors Sunshine Coast hinterland spot of Maleny for their uber-romantic wedding. The classic theme for the wedding evolved from the colour and style of Edwina’s divine white gold dress (a perfect match for her complexion). The couple really embraced handmade , ordering most of their wedding accessories through online handmade marketplace Etsy, as well as making their own wedding stationery and bonboniere. The result was a wedding that was as fun as it was breathtaking. Enjoy!Couple:  Edwina and DanDate:  18th September, 2009Location: Maleny Manor, Maleny, QueenslandPhotography: Jonas Peterson; for more beautiful photos from Edwina and Dan’s wedding, see Jonas’ blog.

I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for people in Austin who want to help out with this side of things and in less than 24 hours I already have so many applicants I don’t know what to do. We’re going to keep it exclusive though, only the best of the best

I keep my bag of weed, pipe, and usually a lighter in my acoustic guitar. Last night I had not smoked since morning, but I heard a boom-crack sound. I ran into that room, and there were several small pieces of wood on fire still spinning on the tatami floor. And the guitar and stand had been blown over. The bottom half of the guitar was blown out — just a few tape-covered wires were left.

The guitar body was not on fire, and the wooden pieces were quickly going out also.

Then I saw my bag of weed. The plastic had melted and I just had warm, plasticy weed :-( So I made butter ;-)

Note: Why does no one mention what their lighter looked like after these reported explosions? If these events really were to have happened, surely the condition of the lighter would have been one of the first things to examine ;-)

An Old West gunslinger myth:
Gun Slinging is not for everybody. Only few special people can do it with lots n lots of practice. For this myth, Mythbuster team should special people who is very fast like Bob Munden. I am sure he will Confirm this Gunslinger Myth.

I’m coming to the party a little late but this myth isn’t a myth at all, I had a 99 cent store lighter on the dash of my truck and it exploded so violently it put a six inch spider web crack in my windshield! These guys need to bring this one back.

with the exploding lighter on the car dashboard myth, what about if the air conditioner was left on the hottest tempurature aswell as the heat of a very hot summer day, may the car then get hot enough for the lighter to explode?
