Combustible Trousers
The Highbrow Version of "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire"
Occasionally we find it valuable to revert to our kindergarten selves. Our five-year-old selves could channel Lego brick creations like nobody's business. And also, our five-year-old selves got a cookie break right before naptime. Score.

The Highbrow Version of "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire"
When a handful of us got this suggestion through the Bounty Program, we all giggled. We took it to a group meeting. Everybody there giggled, too. And then we had the natural progression of turning our collective thoughts to that Mythbusters episode about the exploding pants. The idea they were testing was whether a story from New Zealand in the 1930s about farmers' pants combusting was possible. And, indeed, they confirmed it with a liberal application of the herbicide sodium chlorate. So if you encounter a liar you should douse them with sodium chlorate so you can then say, "Teller of untruths, teller of untruths, your pants have combusted!" Be sure to say it quickly, though, because the burn is pretty rapid. You wouldn't want them missing out.
Note: ThinkGeek does not endorse fiddling with sodium chlorate (methemoglobinemia FTL), let alone throwing it on someone else and/or setting him or her on fire. Unless absolutely necessary.
