This is probably very old, but it's the first time I see it (received through mail). Sorry if it has been posted before.

Someone once told me that if you put matchstick heads inside a floppy disc, some interesting things happen...

EDIT: If you know what's good for you DON'T DO THIS

Actually... If you scrap off match head coating into a bowl, then mix it with rubbing alchol and spread it over the disc part of a flopy disc then it will actually burn. It will set the target comp on fire starting with the floppy disc. Fun fun.

Oh shit. the picture in my head was thus:
I go to salvation army and buy some old fucking 5 1/4 in. floppy game. take out the floppyand stick a match head onto the floppy part and then something happened. Explosion? Rapid combustion with pretty colors? I don't know! I thought it was some kind of spectacular reaction between the disk and sulphur in the match or something...sheesh...Like...like...putting Drano Crystals on some aluminum foil...that's always fun...
