Burn, Baby, Burn: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'':

** Ed and Al burn their house when they choose to leave.

** Spy planes have thermite igniters in case they are ever downed. Not for the crew to defend themselves with, but to burn computers and equipment that are classified. Nothing says Burn, Baby, Burn like Thermite.

** Also common practice with un-salvageable military vehicles on the battlefield, as described in [[Black Hawk Down]]. Accounts from Operation Iraqi Freedom identify M1A1 Abrams tanks as the most difficult to properly sanitize.

* However, contrary to popular belief, there were never mass bra burnings.

 

* There's a parody of this in ''[[Discworld]]'' where the Librarian, who was transformed into an orangutan, tears out his page in every copy of his graduation yearbook he can find, leaving only the smell of bananas, so that the other wizards at Unseen University won't be tempted to look up his true name and turn him back into a human.

* In the film ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'', Everett casually tosses a newspaper on the nightly campfire, and as the front page burns away, it momentarily reveals an article he would have been ''very'' interested in reading.
