Yeah, but some things burn easier than others :)
I'm trying to figure out how well a ship made of fingernail clippings 
would burn from greek fire...whether the fire would set the ship on fire 
or just damage it.

Fingernails are protein, just like hair.  It wouldn't start as easily, but
once it got going it would burn quite handily.  (And smell just as bad.)
