I have a R/C plane with a lithium battery that I augered into the ground rather spectacularly. It hit hard enough to cause an internal short in the 1/3 cigarette pack sized battery. The resulting fire was impressive. Flames blowing out the side and acrid smoke.

I have not been to an electric car fire yet but I am somewhat apprehensive at the thought.

Oh, yeah - “Fun With Freon”

*Carefully* pry the top off of one of the little cans of freon, *gently* pour the contents into a styrofoam coffee cup - carry it towards your friend, and when you’re a few feet away, ‘trip’ and spill the contents of your cup in his direction...

(He will panic when he sees the liquid coming at him, and you all get a good laugh at the expression on his face as it evaporates before reaching him.. Hilarious, until he gets up and beats the crap outta ya... ;))
