Reply #6: Well, one dumb thing amongst many...

I think I was eight years old or so. We were visiting some relatives in Lindenhurst, Long Island. My uncle needed some gas for something, and sent me for it (this was way after dark). I had to walk about eight or nine blocks each way, and was somewhat annoyed. Somehow or other, the gallon milk carton full of gas developed a leak. Being the pyromaniac that I am, I decided to light the line of gasoline that was trailing down the street... I even remembered to move the milk carton out of the way. Unfortunately, I forgot the fact that since it was the milk carton that was leaking gas, it really didn't matter much that I had moved it out of the way :/ Ended up setting the neighbors lawn on fire when the milk container melted.

Edit: Not lawn, but that little swath of grass between the sidewalk and road.
