20 Combustible Trivia Tidbits That Really Turned Our Pistons

I enjoy this list of interesting facts quite a bit, and I know that it would amuse me to hear of a great many more, but I think that if we were to read a very long, meandering and rambling list of them all, you would be bored and tired and so would I, and we'd both be looking forward to the day when I get to the punchlines. Therefore, I will restrict myself to a mere handful of items in this list. I will admit that a few of these are quite boring, and I have been advised by a very wise person not to mention them in case they should prove boring to my reader, and therefore spoil the effect of the punchline, so I won't, and if you want to find out what they are you'll have to go and look in a book that contains the info you're after.
