A bit of Strauss would have worked well.

Dances with Fire

Almost a double funeral pyre. It's been a LONG time since I've laughed that hard at the internets. Upvote.

He should have spelled his name. Like in snow, but with gas and fire instead of pee.

Woo, almost two-for-one funeral pyre.

I can picture that actually:

AHHHH! it burns!

Just let it burn old man, we are saving two thousand dollars.

Seems like a good time to play some Cash...

I fellll in to a burning ring of fire!!

He probably was thinking it's better to keep the fuel flowing out fast, so that it wouldn't burn up the spout on him.

Nonetheless, very lovely pyreurettes there

wait...do you...do you hear that? It's the sound of his father calling him a dumbass from the grave.

They seem awfully happy considering it's a funeral pyre.

The title pretty much gives away what is going to happen, but I still cringed when he started pouring gas on the fire. He got lucky, it looks like that gas can was full, if it had been 1/2 full or so it would have been a fireworks show.

You people (and the guy in the video) have been watching too many movies.
Gas cans/tanks don't explode unless you put explosives inside, most of the time they don't even want to burn because gas needs oxygen to burn. Even if the can is almost empty it's mostly fumes inside and what little air is there is used up pretty quickly and nothing happens, it's when they panic and they start pouring the stuff all over the place that it gets dangerous.

Whup, sorry, Sniper. Somehow I missed your comment there. Didn't mean to swipe your idea.

Is there a darwin_award_candidate tag?

Yup.


I'll admit, though, even knowing for a fact that the best course of action (short of not getting into that situation in the first place, obviously) is to just set the canister down and feel stupid as it smolders (and hopefully seals itself off as the plastic nozzle melts), something tells me my instincts wouldn't let me be so calm and level-headed while holding a flaming jug of gasoline.

When liquid is poured out of a mostly-sealed container it sucks in air to equalize the pressure from the missing liquid (usually through a second vent). The more liquid that is poured out, the richer* the air mixture inside becomes.

An "explosion" isn't out of the question in that case. It might not be a huge fireball like in movies, but it can be enough to rupture a plastic container and spread flaming gasoline on anyone nearby.


*Edit: I meant "less rich".

NOW I know what I want my funeral to be like.

indeed..weird people

Had he relaxed and just stopped pouring, my guess is the fire would go out. Gasoline doesn't burn; the fumes do. The fire wouldn't be able to breathe inside the can.

I don't understand why comments are " Lost in the ether " seems like lazy talk to me. I just wasted two minutes writing a reply to one of the duplicates and now it is gone, although it could of been transferred/generated here. Videosift is a time waster ! Ether my sweet cinnamon buns.
