In school I had a love / hate relationship with chemistry. The mad scientist in me loved the idea of mixing up all manner of explosive and corrosive substances. That same mad scientist hated all the little things that got in his way .. such as common sense, safety protocol and protective gear.

Fortunately for me and to the relief of my lab partners, fate always intervened by placing an over cautious and hyper vigilant instructor nearby when this wannabe chem geek was about to try for another fiendish creation.

Looking back now I have to admit that I was probably not the best person to have in close proximity of things like sodium, open flames and sinks of water. I have to thank all those instructors that I hated. Today I wish I could show them that I still have all of the digits I was born with and shake their hands.

Note: I am not the idiot from the video. I would have used more sodium, been indoors and without proper ventilation.
