In Chem class we sandwiched an Al fire inside about 30kg of dry ice... and watched it blow/melt through it! Very cool...

heh heh, sweet. The best we physics majors get until Junior or Senior years involves flying erasers and hi-bounce balls. On the upside, we do get to play with the biggest machines!

My HS chemistry teacher told a really funny story to us once. He and some of his friends had some left over sodium from a project and decided to have some fun with it. They took it out to a pond and threw it in--entertaing combustion ensues. Unfortunately, some ducks landed in the pond and tried to eat the stuff, and they ended up having to jump into the pond and chase them off!
