Please put it in your Will that we (MFers) will be notified when you kill your self doing some thing stupid like experimenting w/ flammable liquids, drinking Royal Purple[sm=alcoholic.gif]or jumping ditches in your cars/bikes/wheelchairs/couches etc etc. [sm=signs003.gif]

Poisioning the neighbor's lawn, perhaps? I doubt it will even burn, after some quick Wikipeida research. It says a high flash point is desirable, the flash point being the temperature above which it will burn. I'm guessing you would have to heat it to several hundred degrees before it burned even a little.

In the south, it is used on injured animals to help heal cuts, scraps and bruises. Some use it to remove rust from metal parts. Thats about it as far as I know.
