I had Science teacher like that once who encouraged us to blow things up and we often had fires in our lab when things got a little out of control

LOL, my chem teacher likes to throw chunks of sodium in water

It's so cool. I want to see what it would be like if you threw some potasium or Cesium in there.

Caesium?

Isn't that stuff radioactive?

A couple of ounces of that in a exploding test tube could easily turn you into an X-Man or something equally cool

I noticed you typed Caesium. I then though you must be from somewhere other than the US, then I saw your location.

Cesium isn't radioactive, as far as I know, but is an alkaline metal and highly reactive with cold water and ice. Cesium hydroxide is a strong base, though, that can dissolve glass. Fun, fun for everyone one.

As far as X-men go, who said havine X-ray vision is a bad thing?

The flare is about 8 inches across. Massive ear bleeding SPL? My 11 hp briggs is already so loud with a straight pipe, your ears ring after hearing it for about 1 minute.

I should imagine that if your teacher inserts his 2 foot long horn into your shaft your ears won't be the only things that bleed

The satrun V rocket pwnes a comercial jet. Too bad they aren't used anymore. Or I could go to the shuttle launch pad and get pwned there.

I remember watching a
documentary on these. They said
the sound generated could kill you.
That's the reason people are kept
quite a distance away from the launch.
They also flood the area with great gushes
of water before ignition, not to
prevent heat damage, but to
absorb/break up the sonic energy
generated by the rocket.
