nothing


need oxygen to explode

The match wouldn't light due to the lack of oxygen and, although methane isn't poisonous, you'd quickly pass out and, unless rescued, die - also due to the lack of oxygen.

You'll be fined for attempting to light up in a public place. The public place being "The Heiffer of the Year" convention.
nothing, you wouldn't live long enough let alone have the composure to light a dang match.

As usual the Darwin Awards are full of surprises.


"A terrible diet and a room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas emissions. There was no mark on his body, and an autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage (and a couple of other things). It was just the right combination of foods. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows been opened, it wouldn't have been fatal. But the man was shut up in his nearly airtight bedroom. According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity for creating "this deadly gas." Three of the rescuers got sick, and one was hospitalized."
