Excellent song. Well-written and nicely performed. Fabulous feline flatus.

@blankfist - welcome back and congrats on achieving Galaxy. You've always been a quality contributor and one heck of a fire-starter. It's about time you took this job seriously.

Seconded... Then again, why stop at Leviticus?

the bible is excellent as a fire starter or as toilet paper in a pinch. or if you need something to waive at people while you judge them.
if no bible, see if you can find L. Ron Hubbards Dianetics
Or John Smiths Book of Mormon
or Mohammed's Koran
or some other piece of ignorant lunacy written by fools

Joseph Smith. (dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb) Not that I care.


fixed for you

^more trouble worth dealing with..."Bang for Buck" should point the way till bucks are but wallpaper and fire starter.

Rofl, "Now the flint can be used for a pretty handy emergency fire starter..."

Umm, if you'd left your lighter in one piece wouldn't it make a BETTER fire starter? I mean sure you couldn't accidentally blind yourself or your friends with it but it costs about $50 less...

Great post!

King Abdullah II speaks clearly and eloquently as usual – “The continued denial of Palestinian rights is a fire starter for global and regional crises... to the Palestinian people I say, you have suffered enough” – I couldn’t agree more!

“The priorities we identify must lead to actions” – This is the crux of the issue. The Quartet – especially America – has been particularly guilty of talking about peace and implementing the ‘road map’, while taking very few positive steps to achieve these goals. The support and effort of the international community – particularly America – is essential.

“An Israel that is at peace in the neighbourhood and is part of the neighbourhood… I say to the Israeli public, the Arab peace initiative is real, and work with us. Isolation and unilateral action can never lead to the positive future that you and your neighbours want and need” – again I strongly agree. Any long-term solutions to the Middle East crisis must involve Israel. It is not enough to make peace and become tolerant of one’s neighbours. If no effort is made to strengthen political, social and economic ties within the region, then problems are bound to arise again. Israel must stop looking to Europe and America and become a viable member and contributor to the Middle East. Arab states – and Iran – also have a duty to recognise Israel’s right to exist and to help foster closer ties with the Israeli people.

2. quote from inventor:

"this isn't your average MagLight - although it was built from some MagLight parts. Instead, it is indeed a very high powered flashlight, capable of lighting things on fire, roasting marshmallows, or blinding your would-be attacker.

If you don't believe it, take a gander at this video...

Flashlight video

Ok, so now you believe it. What makes this flashlight so powerful? A few things. First, there's some batteries. And not just a few, but 12 1.2V NiMH (rechargable) batteries capable of sustained 10 amp draws. They're in a nice, heavy duty battery carrier that can withstand the load as well.

Then there's the bulb. It's an Osram HLX 64623. This is a 12V bulb which is being overdriven to 14+V, to about 140 watts, with an estimated light output of about 4000 lumens. Compare that to a regular 2D MagLight, which is much, much less than 50 lumens.

There's also a metal reflector, as the stock MagLight reflector would melt almost instantly from the heat of the Osram.

The stock MagLight switch would also melt under the current load, so that's also been replaced with a switch capable of switching the load.

There aren't many handheld flashlights that have this kind of power. This one was built by Mac's Customs.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Nice one, I suspect they made the mistake of using the kind of petrol you put in your car as the fire starter. Good way to lose your eyebrows/life.
