ok. im doing my science coursework at one ocklock in the morning. picking up some notes, i rest them against my lamp - it doesnt have a shade, its just a bulb.
. later i smelled burning.. and looking over at the lamp, there was a billow of smoke rising, and the paper was on fire! so grabbed the paper and held it out the window, but this fed the fire oxygen. not wanted to chuck it into the easily flammable garden below, i put it in a carboard shoebox. (i know, stupid). by now my room was full of smoke, and i was coughing... i thought the shoebox would stop the smoke, but it didnt. so i went ahead and chucked the paper out the window anyway, and then the shoebox released a HAIL of smoke, that just engulfed everything in my room. and all the while i dont want to wake my parents because its 1 in the morning... and here i am in my room, full of smoke, with my parents room next to me
it wasnt really a fire, just smouldering paper. but hell did it release a lot of smoke. anyway, afterwards i was bored so i picked up a floppy disc and placed it against the lamp... 10 seconds later and it had completely melted, warped with a terrible smoke rising...
so let this be a lesson to you! LAMPS GET VERY HOT! also, floppy discs are f'ing easy to melt.
have you got any tales of "i almost set my house on fire" or "i poked someone in the eye with a sparker" or "i set a firework off in my mates house and burnt down his neigbourhood" or something? you shouldnt play with fire but everyone does- evern if its just in a metaphorical sense.
