I used to muck around as a kid but nothing serious. A few Spray can flame throwers, mini petrol bombs (real mini) etc. and of course I had to grow my eyebrows back a couple of times too. 
Pyromaniacs?

You guys ever hear of SRL- Survival Research Labs?
They (very occasionally) put on shows that utilize machines. Robots, Tesla Coil, Jet Engines, Flame Hurricane, etc.
Search YouTube for videos SRL San Jose Video . (They used to have a bunch of videos on their site- but I didn't find them after a quick search)

I was and still am a pyro lover. Best of all I actually get paid $200-500 to shoot off $15,000 worth of firewors someone else paid for each 4th of July. My good friend has his Class B license and I have my apprentice/assistant certification. I keep wanting to get my class B but I enjoy working with the group we've got since we've ben doing this for 12 years now and eveyone is still alive & intact.
I'm a physicist, so a natural pyromaniac :devil:.
Seriously, of all scientists the physicists seem to have the closest affinity to fire.
I remember a New Years party at a friends place. He and I were studying physics at the time, and another guy had graduated in physics two years earlier and was now working in the industry. The other people were also students, chemists, engineers, a few biologists. Guess who lighted the fireworks, exclusively? That's right, the three physicists. (The chemists refused, loudly. Guess they now of the danger .)

My two-year old was messing around with something the other day and I said, "I'm going to take that out back and burn it."
My wife looked at our son and said, "don't worry. Mommy doesn't let Daddy play with matches anymore."
I mean really, you set 5 acres on fire just once and they take away your Zippo forever. And it wasn't really out of control. The fire department actually said so. I mean, really, we had two tractors with front end buckets cutting fire breaks.
But man, I tell you, a couple bowling pins and an old tire burn like they were doused with gasoline. Oh wait, no, it was diesel they were doused, uh, maybe I should invoke my right to remain silent......
