I hate reading the news. No matter what part of the world, it's all bad news. Yesterday it was Polish researchers rescued from polar bears. Apparently, it was a very narrow escape... the bears were only about 60 feet away when the rescue team got the crew off the island. I feel bad for the bears... they were just hungry and wanted a snack.

Can charcoal lighter fluid combust? I mean, I know it's flammable/inflammable (esplain to me why that's true) and all that.. but if it's left in its own container and it's in the sun, can it just burst into flame? I'm tempted to say 'no' because mine hasn't yet but I wonder if it's safe to continue the experiment...
