Satisfying reaction indeed, I had to light a cigarette.

If your kidneys stop working and you don't receive treatment, it will most likely be the excess potassium in your blood that kills you, by giving you a heart attack.

yea in 2nd year health sciences we had to learn what various levels of sodium and potassium in the blood stream do to your heart rythms, lets just say that the results of hyperkalemia (excess potassium) can definitely be described as evil. So I concur with the evil looking scientist guy.

Somehow, I can't but stop and not think of River Tam running away; disheveled and terrorized!

One of my high school science teachers told us that when he was a fresh young teacher he had about a pound of potassium, for demonstration purposes. It had been purchased by the school many years before.

The thing is, Canada listed potassium as a controlled substance when he was teaching, so it fell to him to get rid of it. He had only ever cut thin bits off of the block of it (about the size of a bar of soap, he said) and blew bits of up in water for the delight and edification of his classes. He decided - unwisely - to throw it into the river, thinking it'd be a fairly safe way to get rid of it. He walked out into the center of the bridge and dropped it in.

He realized he'd made two mistakes when he heard the 'kerplunk'; first he should've thrown it on the downstream side, and second he should have thought about how deep a brick of potassium can get into a river before it reacts.

Because he was on the upstream side of the river, the potassium plunged into the water and was swept pretty much onto one of the bridge supports. Then it blew. The bridge had to be shut down for repairs and the explosion was heard miles away. He was soaked but unhurt and simply walked away. Needless to say, he didn't tell anyone for a long long time.

Maybe a little boring for you all, but the video reminded me of it.

I like how these scientists use much less caution and preparation than the MythBusters did on their potassium-exploding episode...

> I like how these scientists use much less caution and preparation than the MythBusters

oh, no, these guys use way more cations than Mythbusters!

But he's a scientist. Scientists need that hair to amplify their brain waves. Or something.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
