Jeeze, I could have got a Darwin award years ago back when I was a
pyromanical kid doing WD40 flame throwers.  Come to think of it, I think I
tried brake cleaner a couple times.  The pressurized propane really kicks
out a nice flame.
Sometimes I think back on the stupid things I did as a kid and wonder how I
have all my limbs, fingers, eyesight, etc..

Heh. My brother warned me of this years ago (aka that brake cleaner
can break down into phosgene.)

Brake cleaner is great stuff, but it always pays to read the caution
labels on the products you are using.
