Did someone claim oxygen is good for you?? I missed that. Anyways, oxygen is one of the most TOXIC substances on earth. To us and many bacteria.

Personally, I think it has something to do with the polarity of the water molecule and the phase of the material.

I'm no expert in combustables by any stretch. Actually, I like Lee's answer the best ...

lol

Here is a pretty good lesson for ya:

And They're wrong about global warming too.

It's not that global warming is melting the icecaps, it's that the icecaps are melting, which does what?---that's right, it gives us more water, which I have already clearly shown to be flamable if you simply look past all of that chemical reaction smoke and mirror show, and thus with more water comes more combustion, and with more combustion, more heat, and sum ergo est and e pluribus unum -global warming!


The Big Boys at the G-20 summit don't want you and I to panic, but if a few more glaciers melt, the Atlantic is going to go up in a ball o fire! Did you see that clip showing how salt water burns! Couple the Atlantic ocean with the radio waves from all the folks driving around like maniacs yakking away on their cellphones, while their GPS tells them the wrong way to get to where thay already were the day before, and we're talking external combustion, baby.......Hoooo-doogies! Now that's a fire!

Dont you need equal parts of Oxygen, heat, and fuel to make fire ? I think it's called a fire triangle. So back to the orignal question, you have your fuel being the Hydrogen, your oxygen, but you dont have the component of heat.

The English words come from separate Latin words: inflammare and the rarer flammare, which both meant "to set on fire". Latin had two prefixes in-, one of which meant "not"; the other, meaning "in", "into", or "upon", was the one used in inflammare. "Inflammable" dates in English from 1605.

You're correct, the man bellow found out about it and then they killed president Kennedy right away (notice the dates)
