Today as a good Teach, I was marshalling the high jump at the school athletics carnival.
Clipboards with student lists in one hand, a pen in the other hand, all while calling names of the next students to jump.
I'd just had a new water bottle thrown to me from the Head of Sports as he passed by on the supplies quad bike and I held the new bottle under my arm while I did the administration.
Not thinking too much about anything other than trying to call the right students to jump, I get this itch on my stomach, give it a quick scratch and continue on as we were.
Itch comes back again very shortly after.....
Hows this for the cause of the itch, the water bottle under my arm had worked like a magnifying glass and focused the light onto my shirt which started to burn and melt, and so was starting to burn my skin!
I had never though to be careful with a waterbottle in the sun.
so, my top tip of the day! Don't leave water bottles in the sun in your car, such as on the front seat when you leave, just in case it magnifies the light and you burn the car down!
It reminded me of the crystal ball post above!

Years ago we had a car at work with a hole in the front seat upholstery from a water bottle doing exactly that.
Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.

SupporterDidn't Jeep do a recall a few years ago on one of their models where the water bottle in the console holder would focus the light on the seat upholstery and burnholes in it ?
I know a woman who was sitting in the sun sewing with her glasses hanging around her neck, the glasses set fire to her clothes!
Most kids of our age would have used a madnifying glass to torture ants and other poor insects or just set fire to stuff in general.
It's often been suspected that bottles thrown from vehicles onto the roadside have started fires in dry grass.

SubscriberYou only try it on dried out dog turds once, I know that.
IEven broken glass, yes. But I'll bet there are far more plastic ones littering the roadside.

When we were kids one of my brothers used a magnifying glass to light a small fire on the window ledge of our old Qlder at Cooparoo.
As can be imagined,our parents were not that happy about it.
