most people walk slow, slouch, take time to talk and finish what they are doing before they decide to make their way to the exit. this doesn't really make anyone ready to respond well to a real-fire situation. the experts can not see what problems will be created in a real-life emergency evacuation. people need to be concerned and hurry in order to test the building. an attack on the senses would help do the trick by letting the fire alarms release a pungent smell of something burning. smoke-simulator machines and bright red and yellow lights can also be used to alert everyone that the drill must be taken seriously.

I wonder if women in a bar would be impressed by such skill! Imagine she asks you to borrow your lighter and all you have to do is open your mouth and blow...fire in her cigarette! :)

Flammable Water!

Seattle is about 3,000 miles from New York. Spread oil on the ground on a 3,000 mile straight line that connects Seattle to NY. Light a match in Seattle, drop it on the starting point of the line and fire will finally make it to NY because oil is flammable. Oil will not only carry fire through, it will also create a total amount of fire much larger than the initial small amount found on the match. What if we could replace fire and oil with water and another water-"flammable" substance?
Why can't we come up with a water-flammable compound that works on water the same way fire works on oil? A substance that can carry water through from Seattle to NY and in the process produce a total amount of water larger than the initial drop amount.
Can the property that is causing flammability in oil when it comes into contact with fire be re-engineered and transferred to other substances?
Water shortage could be solved, large forest fires could be put out in a few minutes on a single drop of water or spit. Just think aboud id :)
