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. -

I haven't heard from my younger-than-me parents yetAnd 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 wateris 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
