    Middle school science class. We were supposed to be boiling water over an alcohol burner. The kid across from me was getting frustrated because his wasn’t boiling yet. I took a look, and it just looked a little off, so I asked him if he was sure he was boiling water. He gave me a strange look and said that he thought we were boiling the alcohol. Just as he said that, his whole setup went up in flames to the ceiling and all over the table. I’m pretty sure he lost some eyebrows and needed some new pants.
