  • alanocu, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7I always tell people of all the great things made by science (or chemistry) such beer, lasers, and Tyrannosaurus Rexes. Without science our quarks wouldn’t even stay together and we’d disintegrate. Remember: anytime you use anything that contains protons, give thanks to almighty science.

  • Phosphan, on 11/05/2009, -1/+3I think you mean to say: "I'll criticize his spelling because he is right and I just can't stand being wrong."
    And before you repeat your "advice", please note that I am no native english speaker and that I have already forgotten more about chemistry than you are likely to ever know.
  • jeremiahjw, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1This is what makes science
  • MaxxusFlamus, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1don't forget about stop light fluid

  • jbmcb, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1Nitrogen Triiodide is a very easy to make low order explosive that's incredibly unstable and, therefore, a lot of fun. As the crystals dry they become more and more unstable, to the point where a gust of air sets them off, at which point chemistry turns into a game of Sorry, where the looser gets iodine stains all over their shirt.

    Alas, Iodine is a controlled chemical now because of those stupid meth heads...
  • cheapcheat, on 11/05/2009, -1/+1I did a variation to 2 outside the fume hood and my teacher flipped out by jumping up on a table, taking his white coat, fanning all the smoke away from the smoke detectors all while yelling at me. :(
  • LegalFormsBank, on 11/06/2009, -0/+0Oh, lord. Now mad amateur scientists are going to be pulling the out the elephant toothpaste experiment to prank their friends.
  • Kornstalx, on 11/05/2009, -3/+1I think you mean to say: "No it's magnesium."
    Try graduating high school English, and then basic chemistry, before posting your replies.
  • Kornstalx, on 11/05/2009, -4/+1Number 7 in the list is using Manganese in dry ice, not Magnesium.
    Wrong element... Even the original Youtube submitter got it incorrect.
