I saw that in an emergency a crayon will burn like a candle for 15-20 minutes.

How long will a crayon burn if it's not an emergency?

And what does a crayon deem to be an emergency?

1. Just don't burn the "flesh" colored one... n/t

3. My flesh colored, your flesh colored, or is there one labeled "flesh"?

If so, that's a very creepy name for a crayon.

Oh, why not?

4. There actually was one in my 64 Crayola box when I was a kid...

They eventually renamed it to "peach".

As to why not, have you ever smelled burning flesh?...

2. I remember back in my delinquent years in grade school, we would melt crayons on the radiators

It was a very old school with cast iron radiators and we would add our colors to them.

Probably 3/4 grade??

Crayons are wax.

5. 3/4 grade? I hope you made up the other quarter and were promoted to 1st grade.
