Yea, you could lose fingers if you play around with this stuff. Ever hear of the Hindenburg? Yea, that was filled with hydrogen. Nevermind that it was coated with thermite...

that story seems to me like it should be stickied in a what not to do section. make a giant gas balloon and coat it with our favorite incendiary mixture.

Haha, you'd figure it'd be obvious enough to not need a sticky. But for those of you out there who are denser than a neutron star, and I know you're there, thermite-painted, hydrogen-filled balloons are a bad idea. Just for the record, I told you so.
