He didn't ask to see it in all it's gory ookiness?? How strange.

From my experience teenage boys love that kind of thing!
It's a good job for you that he's not the ooky type Wolfie, or that might have been a bit awkward for you, trying to explain the fact that it was perfectly OK.
I wonder if that's how people in these indonesian countries manage to walk over hot coals and things? By taking the energy of the fire into themselves and using this energy to give themselves a kind of immunity to the heat.
It's an interesting theory.
Have you -*test*-('")ed it out again Wolfie? You could try it with something like a candle. Light it and watch the flame. Then run your finger slowly around the top of the candle, in the air slightly away from the flame, say about four inches away. Then you can watch and see if it leans towards your finger. It could be that you have a natural ability where fire is concerned.
I read a book about some ancient peoples who worshipped fire gods, and it said in the book that they could 'charm' a flame, and make it dance. The author had seen it done he said. I would love to see that, it would be amazing.
I tried the thing with the candle for ages after reading that book.

I could never make it do anything, but from what you've said, you just might.
If you do decide to try it I'd love to know how it goes.

Kes.
