  Hee hee, kind of reminds me of high school shop class. ;-)  We'd have
never known about this except for the teacher telling us NOT to do it!
In the acetylene area there was a long bench covered in fire brick.  First
day the teacher tells us "NO shooting acetylene into the bricks and
lighting it!"  So of course we had to find out what that was about!
Acetylene being heavy would settle into the tray the bricks were in.
You turn on your acetylene first, which is what they TELL you to do!
You just wait a little too long, or have trouble with your striker, whatever.

Then you light the torch, flash it over the bricks and BANG!  :)  Teacher
comes running and of course the culprit is sitting there going "What???"
Of course the excuse was it was purely an accident and all he was doing
was trying to light his torch!  These "accidents" happened a couple times
a week just in our class!  ;-)
