I've heard tales (maybe they are true, maybe not, I don't know) of pyromaniacs in college who would spray down their arms with hair spray, light it, and then run screaming through the halls waving their flaming arms in the air as a practical joke on the unwary. Supposedly, they suffered no harm from it, other than perhaps a little singed arm hair. Could this be true?
