Seriously, Kaizuh, I understand basic physics. :-P I wasn't disputing that the knife would travel through the fire (and presumably to its target) while the fire would continue onward. What I'm trying to emphasize is that you can't look at just physics to conclude who would win the fight (or how quickly it would be won). For instance, Mai could have dodged Azula's first fire blast and thrown a knife at her simultaneously by sliding on her side, as she did with the guards (how that doesn't challenge the laws of physics a bit, I don't know). And did you say Firebending has been used to crush earth? Hm, that doesn't really sync up with physics either, considering fire isn't a solid (or a liquid like water that can be compressed). I also don't think shooting a knife out of the air with fire is really possible in the real world, as the fire should just pass through it. But I know stuff like that is possible in the Avatar world. (Heh... remember when Suki scaled that metal vertical wall without any equipment? That certainly breaks the laws of physics.) I hope you understand what I was trying to say now...

BTW, no offense, but I hope you know that I'm not seriously concerned about any of this. In the end, Mai survived, likely married Zuko, and lived happily ever after. ^_^ I realize that debating all the "could-have-beens" is slightly pointless in the grand scheme of things. This might be my last comment on the subject, since I need to get back to editing canon articles. But I did (sort of) enjoy debating with you... :-P
