NB: If you
don't know what you could do with these you probably had a much
safer childhood.
Ammonium triiodide isn't so dangerous. I had some kind of chemistry for the
farm book with stuff like how to make fulminate of mercury and more serious
stuff.
Ah, mercury fulminate. In high school AP biology, the only other student and
I (it was a small school :-) both knew the book right and left, and the
teacher knew it, so we spent most of the time making explosives out of the
chemical stock. We made a nice quantity of that stuff and blew up a number of
petri dishes with it between classes, and fortunately most of the shards
blew away before anyone noticed.
