Here's a little something done by a TV show called "Brainiac." Apparently, they exist over on the G4 network.

PREMISE: Let's mix a few alkali metals in some water!

I was most amused at the sight of two pieces of a bathtub going in different directions. Now, as far as I'm concerned, anybody majoring in chemistry hasn't really earned their degree until they've participated in something like this.

My brother commented that they may or may not have also done a video involving thermite as well. First person to find it gets a cookie. GO GO GO.

That was awesome. Crazy Aussies.

Edit: Wait, were they British? I don't remember now!

i think a couple of the episodes involve thermite, or maybe i just saw different parts of the same episode on different days... anyway, they used thermite to burn through an engine block in one, and burn through a safe in another. pretty cool stuff...

... and G4 sucks anus...
