I wasn’t the best at science in high school and in college the two science classes I took were a non-difficult space themed class and then a class about weather forecasting (I love college) so I think I either just missed out on this entirely or learned it and forgot, but: What happens when you put fire near an emergency sprinkler system? Just like…I guess I don’t really need the science behind it or whatever, because I’m not sure I’d understand it anyway and I don’t want to waste any more of your time, but can you just give me an explanation of what happens when you do it? Paint the scene, maybe. Or is it a thing that you can’t really explain unless you tell me why it’s happening? If it’s that sort of a thing then I’d definitely welcome an explanation, if you have time! If I were to guess I’d say that the emergency sprinkler system maybe sets off some sparks and shuts down or something, but it’s NOT dangerous or anything. Is that right? I’m just guessing but I think it’s an educated guess — or at least as educated as it can be, with my background. Haha. But, so, am I close?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay. I think I get it. Thanks! (Via Geekologie.)
