Sulfer gonna kill me?

Lighters were out before matches? I didn't know that, i guess it is true that you learn somethin new everyday :D

Code:

---

In 1680, an Irishman named Robert Boyle discovered that if you rubbed phosphorus and sulphur together, they would instantly burst into flames. He has discovered the principle that was the precurser of the modern match

umm im sorry but lighters werent out b4 1680 so i dont think lighters came first

Ah, but just because he invented the 'idea' doesn't mean he invented the match.:D

accually one time use is still an invention, but it appears that you loose this round my foe...bwahahaha, plus, matches are cheaper and easy one time use deals that wer a hundred times more popular for years befoe the lighter became big to take its place

Code:

---

In 1832, small phosphorus matches were manufactured in Germany

---

thats when matches were produced by the thousands and i still dont think lighters came before 1832

ditto

i doubt it would have any diff. effect on you or the brain ;)

I just went on the national lighter museum website, and they say that lighters have existed in various forms since the 16th century. Obviously, they won't look like Bic lighters or Zippos....

That doesn't mean the match existed per se. Gunpowder was around since the 900s in China, but the first cannon apeared hundreds of years later, not to mention rifles and guns...

can ignite the bowl with the sun and a magnifying glass. It works and absolutely no fuel, sulfur or anything else. tastey.
