Ok, well I'd like to hear your opinions on whether its wrong or right. I have a theory myself, that I will tell you later, but first I want to hear what all you think, and why. No flaming fires, lets not get outta hand :)

Kids these days are out of hand. Once they get to highschool and start learning about this "combustion", they're bound to get in trouble. We need to teach kids about combustion while they are young, so when somebody offers them a match they know what to do.

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.

Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them!
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches!
Peasant 2: Wood!
Sir Bedevere: Correct. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her!
Sir Bedevere: But don't we also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Now, does wood float in water?
Peasant 1: No, no... Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread!
Peasant 2: Apples!
Peasant 3: Very small rocks!
Peasant 2: Cherries! Great lumpy gravy!
Peasant 3: Crutches!
King Arthur: A Duck!
Sir Bedevere: Exactly!

what's combustion? is there something deeper than just the synonym for explosion?

Spontanious combustion is bad. I lost a friend that way. One minute he was reading a book and the next...*POOF*

Combustion is the quick reaction of a substance with oxygen. An explosion is the violent release of a large volume of gas.
