"We don't normally spray this stuff around the lab for obvious reasons"..
Well then what kind of fucking scientist are you then?!

Hey, he's using my camera! Oh, I'm sorry, was there burning stuff going on??? I mean, look at the guy sitting next to him. Totally unimpressed.

How expensive is it? Could you put it in a spray can?

New improved super mace! Deters attackers by melting their faces!

Now can also be used as a replacement key (warning: house may not exist after use)

edit: hang on, what was the point of the "dabal"? I get that it's handy to have stuff not explode, but we already have tonnes of stuff that doesn't spontaneously catch fire, why do you need to take the cool stuff that does spontaneously catch fire and make it boring?

It's probably not as economical and convenient as white phosphorous.

My father was a physicist, and he told me a story (mind you, a great deal of his stories were apocryphal and he died before they could be sorted out--which is why I feel justified in claiming my great grandmother was Irish royalty and my great grandfather was an armless gypsy horse acrobat... but I digress). Anyways, he claimed that for a time in Spain there was a company marketing cigarette lighters that used white phosphorous so that you could merely flip the lid open, exposing a small amount to the air igniting it, and very suavely light a ladies cigarette for her. Unfortunately, sometimes the seals would fail while in a man's trouser pocket, which is where the slang "willy peter" comes from.
