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

that show is dumb. how can explosions and chicks in bikinis be bad? just watch braniac.

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...
