These are engineering faculty and grad students from Purdue University. At first, they were trying to speed up the process of lighting a grill, but they got lost somewhere along the way in the sheer pyrotechnic joy of it all and decided to try using liquid oxygen,with the "cool" results that you see here. There was a Dave Barry column about this "experiment." You can search the web for "purdue grill liquid oxygen" or something like that.

Children and matches. A BAD combination.

You aren't honestly going to justify stupidity vs. boldness on the completely unnecessary starting of fires with chemicals are you? When did boldness involve doing things in the most foolish way possible, rather than the most practical way? I think the smart way to start the fire would have been the safest way, which wouldn't have involved a 6 foot board between the starter and the materials involved. It wouldn't have been quite as cool, but lets not start trying to call this intelligence...

These engineers must have been the same ones who designed the "O Rings" on the Space Shuttle Challenger...
