Doesn't matter.
It's the principle of selling crap on Ebay, not whether it really looks like what you claim.

But what is Fire? This almost magical creation, found naturally, but appearing not to be of this Earth. Science will tell you that if you bring two gases together and raise the temperature you will get a flame, but was is the flame? It is a living breathing entity that consumes and grows in a similar way to other life forms.

To generate that big of a flame on pure flatulence must've took quite some effort.... or lots of Taco Bell :p

Fire is hot!

Used to have a screen saver called Blaze 3D but that was 6 years ago.

OOO this reminds me of when I took plastic wrappers, wrapped them around a pieace of wood, lit them and watched the molten plastic fall to the ground making a "vrrooo, vrooo" noise. Ah man god times. I especially liked playing "god" with the ants doing that :)

Fire doesn't necessarily occur when you put two gases together.
E.g, Inert gases like Helium, Argon, etc

Solid can also combust with or without oxygen
e.g. Iron and Sulphur burns without oxygen to form Iron Sulphide

Flame consist of ions, i.e. atoms without electrons due to excitation
It's a state of matter called Plasma which is basically a soup mix of positive ions and a sea of negative electrons
