...when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it. The amazing thing is that they envisioned a good outcome to this type of behavior.

There's a prime example of the difference between Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans-- one group is devoted to fantasy, the other to techno-babble, but at least the latter acknowledges the laws of nature (like gas + oxygen + fire can be a bad thing).

What is it with the attraction of stupid people to gasoline? Some time ago I read an article about a kid who blew up his parent's house huffing the stuff while smoking a cigarette! Mind bending stupidity.

Indirect birth control at work. Three people involved and none of them, not one, stopped to think that maybe the words gasoline + flourescent tubes + light sabre duel aren't meant to go together.
