 		I have a 1/2 gallon jug of Tiki torch fluid, but no Tiki torches, and I'm building a tennis ball mortar. Can I use the torch fluid in the mortar?

 		Tiki torch fluid is (I assume) paraffin (or similar) so would be very hard to use as a propellant fuel.

 		Here's an idea:

*Soak the tennis ball in tiki oil.
*Light it.
*Put it in a trebuchet.
*Attack the neighboring castle with fireballs.

 		Or even better, fill tennis balls with lighter fluid and put a dozen in a trebuchet...
