    Yes, a Boy Scout outing where one could not bring any matches or lighters. Only flint and steel and magnifying glass or the two sticks bow were acceptable.

    But I HAVE melted several plastic army men, burned several ants, and once caused a piece of string to smoke. I was GOING for a fire, but it wouldn't quite do it.

    I believe I was about 8 years old when I discovered the 'magic' of the magnifying glass.

    I admit nothing. I call it optically induced lighting and the insurance company will never hear me say different.
