re: #73 Killgore Trout
All the really cool science toys were deemed too dangerous and banned long ago. Remember chemistry sets? Just a box of toxic chemicals and some lame instruction book which nobody ever read.
I made the mistake of buying a chem set. They’ve made the chemicals nearly impossible to get to, and the instruction manual was nearly incomprehensible.
So instead, I own some glassware and a bunch of highly toxic chemicals. (They are hidden away from the kids.)
Ba-boom!*
*the best instructions are found on the internet
