I may have to get into that again. Just need to get some paste then we'll be in business..

# flour and water?
or super glue? which is best for paper mache to be used by small children?

# I was thinking of wallpaper paste
But you're probably right about the flour and water. I shall try that. Superglue could be a laugh though..

# flour and water always worked fine
as I recall, and had the added benefit of being essentially edible, which can't be a bad thing.

# also you can fashion stuff out of bread
that really salty bread that after you bake it goes rock hard and then you can like, varnish it and stuff.

# Food Fun
Heat a test tube of oxygen-rich sodium chlorate, chuck in a single jelly baby and the tube will erupt in a violent spurt of yellow flame.
"It usually leaves the room smelling of candy floss" says Ken Kosanke.
I'll have to try that. Anyone got any sodium chlorate?

# my dad used to make ammonium tri-iodide
or something at home in the kitchen as a boy. It explodes on contact and was good for stopping cats eating fish out of the pond.
mind you, he also made tear gas.
and gelignite. Then spent my childhood days lamenting chemistry wasn't as much fun as it used to be.

# Cool
when I was a teenager me and my friends had a period (which went on for years to be honest) of developing increasingly sophisticated pyrotechnics based on agricultural bird-scarers, model rocket motors and petrol. We made some fantastically good stuff. I miss those days sometimes. I'm sure I could remember how to do all that stuff if needs be. I want to make a 30 minute video based around exploding fluffy toys in amusing ways. Anyone in?

# can you make all the fluffy toys clown based?
Cool. I'm in.

# Cool
but believe me, if you'd had to spend the last 15 years listening to them singing the same song you'd be as pissed off with them as I am.

# 15 years?
I thought you'd said they'd been there since 1976.

Did they get 10 years off for good behaviour, or did they switch songs?
