Could this be remnants of off shore fireworks displays. Not much on chemistry but it sure smells like it.

Sodium is kept totally submerged in oil. It will burn if exposed to air(there is enough moisture in the air to oxidize it). Contact with water is explosive

""eventually we just tried to tear her shorts off"

Remember this technique. This will solve most problems.

Posphorus burns when dry. It should be kept wet for storage. Sodium slowy oxidises when dry. In the presence of water, it burns intensely. It should not be kept wet for any kind of storage.

My, my, my. If I keep my mouth shut, I could probably be very rich.

Laz, you’ve never needed igneous rocks to set the ladies’ shorts afire.

I HAVE igneous rocks.

The doctor said it was the worst case he'd ever seen.
