>> James: SO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I LIGHT THIS.

>> James: YEAH, PUT IT ON WATER, THAT WILL SET IT ON FIRE,

THIS ISN'T TERRIBLY POISONOUS SO PUT YOUR FINGER THROUGH THAT

>> James: WHEN YOU SAY TERRIBLY POISONOUS, I WANT IT TO

BE NOT POISONOUS OR POISONNIST ONCE PUT YOUR PING-- FINGER IN.

NO, NO, THROUGH THE POWDER, NOT IN THE WATER.
