I once set fire to myself in a canoe.

I have done many silly things, the list is too long to start here, let's just say I have an active humility gene.

Really!? I once lit a basketball on fire (using gasoline) and through it into a field of dead weeds in the middle of July. I was going for 'Balls of Fire'.

I grabbed the wrong iron while blacksmithing once and branded my thumb. I still can't believed it healed.

I've heard that as you cross state lines into Utah, there's a large sign that reads: "Welcome to Utah. Please set back your clock 200 years."

Is this true?

One time I picked up my soldering iron like it was a pen and melted the tip of my forefinger. It's awesome: I have no fingerprint!

If we're not careful, we're going to turn this thread into the X-Marks Jackass thread!

Not true. Be nice.

I can't think of a better place to set yourself on fire.

Was the ball filled with gasoline, or just soaked in it? I got to say, I'm loving the idea of gasoline-filled firey basketballs...

I understand Mr Killman's PoV, but I'd stand it on it's head. Arbitrary rules just annoy people and even provide an excuse for someone who does want to make trouble. I don't think the goal of educating is well served by trying to micro-manage the students in ways that have nothing to do with their education. I see that as a waste of time and effort.
