Thread: I need an answer to this

  1. #1

    Default I need an answer to this

    I have a plan to set a pool of water on fire.

    The plan is to put enough oil into the pool, so that there is a thin layer of oil over the entire surface of water. That way, the oil can catch fire, but since it won't mix with water, the water would be ok. And in my "theory" it would be possible to swim under the fire in the water.


    Ok scientists, tell me what I'm doing wrong and why

    Doesn't oil and water and fire cause... explosions? And the oil would really smurf up your filter, if you try it in a regular pool.

    Regardless, I say go for it.

    There is nothing that seems unreasonable about this idea! I want to swim under fire.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    The only thing you could do wrong would be to take anyone's advice that says you shouldn't do it.

    Your only choice is to show him how it's done properly.

    Swimming under flames in a pool of water is cool, I guess.

    If you do it in a pool of gasoline, I'll call you a god.

    Not only has someone else already done it, but this asshole just one-upped you by surfing with fire.

    well ive set water on fire before although i didnt swim in it after. any whooo oil isnt very flamable it would take alot and high temp ignition Gasoline on the other hand would still float on the surface and would go up like a match thats what i used to set water on fire.
