Ouch!

The case workers were treated for minor injuries in LaFayette. Doyle was taken to Erlanger Medical Center (search) in nearby Chattanooga, Tenn., with second- and third-degree burns to his testicles and leg.

My what a dickens of a burn...a real nut-case!

"second- and third-degree burns to his testicles and leg."

Instead of Rocky-Mountain oysters, we now have Lookout Mountain oysters......

"Is that a meth lab in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

[IamConservative]

At first I thought this may be about the new grilled stuffed burrito from Taco Bell..

"with second- and third-degree burns to his testicles "
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!


LOL

... second- and third-degree burns to his testicles and leg.

That's what you call dry-roasted nuts.

[sweetiepiezer]

At first I thought it was Sandy Burglar.

[television is just wrong]

Wow, he must have had some of this stuff. Mrs. Heinz's favorite:

Is that a bomb in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

If the film canister he used was made of aluminum, it was a red phosphorus, iodine, and aluminum reaction.

Aluminum is used in thermite, also in the solid rocket fuel (including that used in the Shuttle solid boosters).

Gives new meaning to the old adage

Speed Kills!

and before that happens you lose your teeth, became emaciated, lose your sexual drive (unless its to score some speed), and your body becomes dotted with boils and scabs from the toxins trying to escape your pathetic body.

Yeah, but good times, right?

Red Phosphorus is highly reactive to oxygen. Iodine captures electrons well. Iodine promotes Phosphorus reactivity with oxygen.

Phosphorus is normally stored in oil, which is not generally reactive with oxygen unless in the presence of a reactant (Iodine).

Once the phosphorus starts to burn, the oil will ignite. If any sulphur is present, the Iodine will react with the sulphur and when dry, create a contact explosive, which could ignite with any jostle or static electricty.

Neat trick with asbestos underwear.

Please always remember the little people who supported you when you were making your way to the top!

I wish I could remember all the way back to chem 101 and remember how to combine these --- on paper of course.
2P + 3I2 --> 2PI3
Red Phosphorus when combined with Iodine, forms Phosphorus tri-iodide. It's a fairly strong exothermic (heat releasing) reaction.

Darwin Award Nominee

My initial reaction was the he wasn't eligible for a Darwin Award because he lived; however, he may have found a loophole.

The Darwin Award requires that you remove yourself from the gene pool. He may have done so by thermal castration (a polite way of saying that he blew his ----- off).

[Beaker]

I wonder... will he qualify for a Darwin award?

Retro clothing line; hot pants!
