...In 12th grade, my chemistry teacher found me compounding carbon, sulpher, and potassium nitrate together. I lamely told him I was making fireworks for graduation. I lost the argument, disposed of it, and didn't get expelled. Igot saved and became a carpenter...%^)

LOL! My chemistry teacher in high gave us 85% of the method to make NITRO GLYCYRINE!! To bad he didn't TELL me that he left out a step. The look on his face when we had to explain just what caused the minor explosion was priceless!
He look horrified and said "You idiots! You forgot to.." Basically he was mad not because we tried to make nitro, but because we didn't think far enough ahead to figure out the missing step.
Like I said, he started me on my "better living through chemistry, and explosives" phase which I haven't quite grown out of yet.

Now you just play around with aluminum oxide granules, steel filings, wood glue and road flares, right?
