Fire requires oxygen to ignite. Even in the most gaseous environments where the whole place ought to just explode into a mini star, it cannot for that same reason.
There’s plenty of heat, in the case of Venus (Ave of 863 degrees F, 462 C), but the atmosphere is 96% Carbon Dioxide, a non-combustable gas.

Feb. 21st mind blowing random thought of the day: Beneath the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, Egypt is a relief inscribed on one of the walls depicting figures standing around a large lightbulb like object along with a conductor. In 1969, archaeologist and writer Erich von Daniken, author of the book Chariot of the Gods, recreated a working model of the image depicted, which, when connected to a power source, successfully emitted a purplish light. This discovery gave rise to the now popular theory that Ancient Egyptians had access to primitive forms of electricity.

I read that book. Talks of a chamber beneath the phinx. When archeologists started to ultrasound it they where told to stop by the Egyptian government. I’ve not followed it up to see what has happened since. Was an interesting read.

The Ancient Egyptians knew more than they were willing to share. Their mathematics were astounding, and still being saught to understand.

Heres another fact: The statistics certainly bear Kroeger out. Nickelback has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, according to the label, and the band’s last four releases have debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 – and at No. 1 in its homeland.

Yeah, i feel like nowadays no one wants to be “basic”. Listening to mainstream, generic music that’s mass produced in a producer’s studio, is now something people are ashamed of.

Oh yeah, hipsters are a serious threat these days. Everybody has to be on the fringe and know about the new underground thing youve never heard of.

My random fact for the day: Due to a translation error considering there is no word for “Lil” in any other language Lil Wayne’s name translates from English to Russian and back to English as “The smallest Wayne Possible”
