another one is napalm, but this is nastier.
buy a cheap bar of soap. make shavings out of the entire bar of soap. dump in pot and cover generously with cooking oil. boil the mixture, stirring constantly. (warning: VERY flammable). you should get a thick goo.
spread goo on object and light goo with match - voila, napalm!
for the truly nasty delivery (i've never tried this...), try using more cooking oil to thin the mix, then put the resulting gloop into a high pressure water gun. proper flamethrower anyone? (not those piddly little alcohol/aerosol ones that people like to fool around with - this is NAPALM... )

I just received a letter from my college parents. Has any one else had this?
Anyway, I have five siblings so we're going to be a family of eight. Shazam.

Incidentally, what's with the whole chemistry discussion, my explosives work is a little fuzzy these days, my days of blowing stuff up have passed.

by the way, doesnt look like im doing chemistry now. Anyone interested in a super duper copy of "Inorganic Chemistry" by atkins and some other bloke? £10 if you are. i have lots and lots of random music books as well.

And don't worry about them being younger than you - we have a mature (admittedly only 22) student in our year who did natsci before. His daughter is now his mum. Work that one out

ahh memories of AS chemistry *tightens nooose* ooh if anyone has any potassium going spare though....so much fun in water is it caesium that's that more powerful than potassium and lithium? we saw a video of how either that, or francium, reacted in water....teehee

If you get a good sized lump of sodium you get the same effect though (this knowledge courtesy of Nicky's fave chemistry lecturer)

talking of chemistry videos, has anyone seen that one with the periodic table song on it? it was sung by tom lehrer in 1959 at harvard. genius 
listen to it
here
``There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium
And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium (inhale)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
``There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium and barium.
``There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium
And phosphorous and francium and fluorine and terbium
And manganese and mercury, molybdinum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium
And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,
Paladium, promethium, potassium, polonium, and
Tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, (inhale)

And also mendelevium, einsteinium and nobelium
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper,
Tungsten, tin and sodium.
``These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered.''
