4. Yes, and I set a field of dry grass on fire when I was 9 getting me the
worst beating of my life and grounded for the entire summer.

5. No...
...but I ran twice as fast with the scissors to make up for it.

Seriously, when I was in kindergarten I saw a kid set himself on fire with matches. Scared hell outta me.

6. Yes, and I still
play with matches at 57.

I set our backyard on fire when I was in 3rd grade, I light candles to go to sleep by when I'm sleeping somewhere besides home.

I barbecue. I would have made a great professional arsonist. I love fire almost as much as I love cats.

I am a disturbed individual.

7. Matches, chemical rockets, homemade bunsen burners...
...lighters, stink bombs made from ballpoint pens, tennis ball-launching bazookas made from soda cans...

So I became a mad scientist, eventually. :P
