After my foolish post, some even more foolish idiot wrote: >ehhhh... i AM going to tell you what the reaction participants are cause you >all probably have alot of it on hand.

I sincerely regret introducing this subject to the thread. It reveals an effective way to violently kill yourself and everyone around you, in a terrifying and uncontrollable way, while burning down most nearby structures. Anyone lucky enough to escape death from a reaction like this, can be maimed, horribly and painfully, for life. An equivalent amount of this stuff in front of the Federal Building in OK City, would have made that bomb look like a popped balloon by comparison. Ladies and gents, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN THINK of trying this. Any precautions you take beforehand, probably won't be enough. I exercised VERY poor judgement in opening this thread... PLEASE LET IT DIE. So no one else does. -Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '71 VW Transporter Any opinions expressed herein, are not those of General Instrument Corp., and in no way are supported or recommended by same.
