You also can't ignite gasoline with a cigarette, like about 80% of action movies portray. I watched the MythBusters debunk that one, and STILL didn't believe it myself... so I tried it myself, everything from aeration to blazing the brightest cherry on the planet, but, nope: a cigarette will not ignite gasoline.
