PDF copy of "Golden book of Chemistry Experiments"

On page 8 there, is that a picture of Jesus on top of the stack of filter paper? ;-)

Well, right in my back yard. Odd thing is my fathers birthday was on Oct

Yep. Might actually happen soon. I'm working a project in collaboration with a colleague in Columbus and we're due for a design review shortly.

A sex crazed maniac or a robber would probably physically attack a helpless gal who sprayed him with mace or mercaptan,

but I suspect that the smell of mercaptan, or some other chemical would get the minds of most people off of sex.

But people react differently. I heard a country guy in the service say that he masterbated so much in the outhouse, that he got an erection when he smelled sh!t.

HCl was in the starting chemicals. I thought I was going to condense HNO3. My guess on the reaction was wrong. I was actually generating Cl2. That doesn't condense.

My point was that I f**ked up by thinking I could change the starting acid and still get HNO3.

for me it was an eye opener. how could you use chemistry like that? ahhh, the naivete of youth...

The anarchist's cookbook was one of the more harmless things available from Loompanics. About 20 years agoa friend of mine and I ordered lots of destructive literature from there.

I vividly remember a section in some bomb-making chapter dealing with timing fuses. Safety was always a prime concern: A cigarette makes a pretty good timer for a splinter bomb, "but when lighting it, do not inhale the toxic fumes".

guerilla humor?

It will if you chill your condenser with liquid N2. ;-)

But then, what are you going to do with cold liquid chlorine? =:-O
