Reminds me of Clint Eastwood preparing to escape from Alcatraz using a bundle of matches to weld together a mini pickax (made out of a small nail cutter and its little nail file, IIRC).

Just me?

Who's Clint Eastwood?


He's a historical figure from the 1880s who unfortunately fell to his demise in Clayton's Ravine when the train he was engineering failed to stop before the tracks ended at an uncompleted bridge. Google "Mad Dog Tannen" for more info.

Close out the comments. We have a winner.

Gee, let's do this fire experiment next to a bunch of dead leaves! Sounds like a plan!

I thought they looked like a crowd of somewhat depressed people at the end. Weird?

New sport: Matchstick dominos.

Back in school, we had an art project that used burned match sticks, so we had to burn 'em. Strike, extinguish. Strike, extinguish. That sure seemed inefficient, so I got the bright idea to just take a handful of matches--as many as I could hold--and strike them all at once.

I was right about one thing: it was more efficient.

There's gotta be a better way to light a block of C4

They always look like congregations of church goers to me. Very sad either way.
