Life's more interesting with fire...

Tennis ball filled with matches ignites in midair.

You knew it had to happen sometime, and it was more likely to be sooner rather than later. I finally gave up on the monotony of "normal" weekends living on Sigma Beta. To remedy this, I filled a tennis ball with strike anywhere matches. I know it's not original, but nevertheless it's something to do. A funny thing happens when you are seen cutting 800 match heads off the match and putting them in a tennis ball: People drop what they are doing, if not for a moment, and take interest.

The rest of the story is better viewed. All in all we had about 20 people come out to see it, which for our floor meant it was a huge event. You can check out the video of the resulting fireworks by clicking on the picture. Enjoy!
