We snuck into a neighbor's garage and were fooling aroung with whatever we could make trouble with. I mixed a couple of jars of something into a bigger jar and left with it. Rummaging around a friends garage tends to make a young un hungry so I headed home with my jar of "stuff" to raid the refrigerator. I put the jar on the counter, made a snack, and headed off to my room. A little while later I hear a loud bang. I finally sound the source in the kitchen. What a frickin mess it made. Some kind of chemical glop with granules blown all over the kitchen. I'm sure glad I didn't have that jar sitting in my lap when it went. Thanks for the memories. bb Mixing Comet and Bleach will produce a vigorous reaction and a yellow cloud of chlorine gas. I did this as a kid (I forget why, but I had a non-terrorist reason) and mixed them at the bottom of a deep hole and crept too close to watch and got a good whiff of chlorine gas. It felt as if my chest was on fire. I had read that a good antidote was to get a whiff of ammonia which I rapidly did. I have also read that soldiers in WW1 would **** into a handkerchief and hold this over their noses because the ammonia in the pee would help neutraqlize the chlorine. Of course, I also burned all my hair off by trying to melt a mixture od sugar and saltpeter for casting rocket fuel pellets, burned down the azaleas when my ramjet engine (an old coleman stove fuel tank and atomizer feeding the kerosene fuel, and an old vacuum cleaner running in reverse to mimic airflow) expelled a huge cloud of flame, and drove the neighbors nuts by screwing up all TV reception for blocks by trying to make a plasma rocket engine with an arc in a glass tube fed with propane. The arc was made from carbon rods from D cells and my rheostat was copper rods immersed into salt water connected to 120V. It produced enough light to turn night into day and freak the neighbors. By comparison, how dangerous are the computer games my son plays constantly? Kids these days got no interest in cool stuff. |
