Did We Really Do That?

Whilst at school, the favorite subjects for Both Matt and myself were the Sciences, and Technology. I'm not sure if it was because we were good(?!)at them, or just purely and simply because we loved making, breaking and setting fire to things!
Anyway, back to the story.....
Whilst in a chemistry lesson one day, it came to our attention that the pressure present at the gas taps for bunsen burners was, in fact, really quite low. It didn't take us too long to figure out that, once lit, it was possible to remove the bunsen's pipe from the gas tap, and blow (using our mouth!) into the pipe. Blowing into the pipe simply the gas trapped in the pipe. It was therefore possible to walk around the Lab, carrying a lit bunsen burner whilst blowing into the pipe!
Once you had relocated to a suitable work bench you could simply re-attach the pipe to a gas tap, turn it on, and HEY PRESTO! the flame carried on seamlessly!
This was one of our favorite stunts, and one that somehow confused and amazed even the "brightest" class mates!
