LOL, the only people who blew stuff up was us teachers. We tried to make pyrotechnics a weekly event. Once, we found a cansiter with a bit of O₂ left in it. We mixed it with a bit of H₂ in some balloons (with some iron filings for a nice sparkley effect). Made a heck of a boom. The windows rattled. The students were impressed. The poor headmaster didn't think it was so great- he thought something terrible had happened.

LOL! I can see how that would be fun for teachers, too :) In some of the chem classes here it was more the students, though, and less controlled! There were delinquent kids who couldn't pass chem but still managed to learn what chemicals they needed to blow things up. One really bad kid blew up a bunch of the lab.

Had a lot of interesting experiences in chem class. Some of the kids would try to cheat by looking at my test over my shoulder while I was writing. It was funny because one time the chem teacher pretended like he didn't notice they were doing it, but then when the kid got up to hand his paper in, he goes, "So how come you're handing Fedora's paper in for him?" :)
