xanadian: I wonder what the final chemical composition of the snake is... couldn't find it in Wikipedia...

Lord Jubjub: markie_farkie: Looks like one of the ingredients in those fireworks snake pellets.

I think there are STILL black marks on the driveway from 10 years ago.

The Pharaoh's Serpent was the original snake. They started using safer ingredients after kids were eating the snake and dying.

Ah, it's just Darwin doing his job.

Chemistry behind The Pharaoh's Serpent.

Snake burns on the sidewalk were as much a part of childhood in the US as lite-brite pegs getting lost in the shag carpet.

Skip the first 1:20 unless you get a tingle in your naughty bits watching someone spoon out some powder.

Reminded me of Poison Ivy's little vine-pods she'd always throw at people on Batman TAS.

Did we really need to see 1:20 of scooping¿

Apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... apparently so... and so on and so forth.

/scoop

No one will be seated during the gripping minute-long Spooning The Stuff Into The Terrarium scene. I think the live coda of "Free Bird" was shorter than this.

Joking aside, that is one freakish reaction all right. Even the noise is creepy.

true, but the deaths were only among first-born males.

I don't take a religious view. I like to think of it was natural selection.

Came to say, snakes and sparklers are the good stuff.

That was... Lovecraftian... :)

I was talking with a friend about a book they had in my junior high... No way in heck they'd publish that nowadays. It was called "Science Magic" and had all sorts of stuff involving toxic stuff like mercury or highly reactive stuff like 80% hydrogen peroxide. You know... The fun stuff!

Anyway, one of the recipes was for ash snakes. Older farkers will know what I'm talking about. Little asprin-sized tablets that made twisty ash trails. Except this book didn't fark around, they described making cones the size of your fist to make ash friggin' anacondas.

Really wish I could find a copy of that book.

So that's how Prometheus ended.

One more thing that would be cheaper and safer would be to cook a bar of Ivory soap in a microwave.

It's alive!

Came to say this

I had one of those removed from my spine last year. I don't recommend it.

those poor, little cacti

THAT is why I am the SHAMAN!!!!!!

Bow to me.

Dear Jerk: One more thing that would be cheaper and safer would be to cook a bar of Ivory soap in a microwave.

.......you know, I need a new microwave anyways...

/off to buy a bar of ivory soap and a new microwave!

I just did a white wine spit take

It looks like a series of tubes.

... just like the Inter-web

And it didn't affect Jews at all.

And stepping on 20-sided dice in one's bare feet

PacManDreaming: zerkalo: And stepping on 20-sided dice in one's bare feet

Meh, those four-sided dice made better caltrops.

The 4-siders are the most painful, to be sure. But the 20's are big enough to take you down. My brother had a 30-sider; we called it the 'golf ball'.

imagine lighting up 100 kg of that stuff

Spooning out that much would be like watching an Andy Warhol film.

Aaaaaand the laser sputters out.

Why the fark you'd call someone's attention to the fact that you're about to zap them, I'll never know. Me, I'd just shoot the SOB.

Paris1127: I see your Mercury(II) thiocyanate decomposing and raise you Ammonium dichromate and Mercury(II) thiocyanate decomposing together...

Nice.

May I help you?
