The French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet was vice President of the French Senate and the first to syntezise potassium chlorate. The first thing he did with it was to try to use it instead of potassium nitrate in black powder. He let his assistants mix several kilos of it with sulphur and charcoal in a ball mill. Several of them were killed in the explosion.

The German pharmacist Friedrich Sertürner isolated morphine from opium in 1804. He tested it on himself and two friends. They first took 15 mg and didn't feel anything but a light euforia. After an hour they took 30 mg. They felt very hight after a while and after half an hour took 45 mg. They fainted. One of them woke up and forced the others to vomit by forcing them to drink vinegar. Otherwise they might have died. 8)

Scientists these days are a bunch of pussies it seems.

Marie Curie discovered Polonium and Radium, but she wound up dying of leukemia or aplastic anemia as a result of all the radioactive materials she handled.

Alfred Nobel had a laboratory in Vinterviken outside Stockholm, where he experimented with his new invention dynamite. The security wasn't very high. There was a worker often spilling nitroglycerine and then stepping into it with shoes that partly had iron soles. In 1868 the whole place blew up and 14 people were killed. In 1872 it blew up again and 12 people were killed. The life expectancy of the people who worked there was 30 years.

Mentos and coke are VERY dangerous.

They're cowards. The oldies would turn in their graves if they saw those cunts in action. :tantrum: :arrr:

Fritz Haber, the German chemistry professor who won the Nobel Prize, was the man behind the poison gas in WWI. His lab blew up, probably because they worked under high stress, and one man was killed but they just continued working. When testing the gas, they simply put bottles with the gas in empty shells to begin with. No protection whatsoever.

Very good thread, carry on.

brilliant but careless someone somewhere somewhen must have died brilliantly and carelessly making meth.

While re-synthesizing LSD-25 for further study, Hofmann became dizzy and was forced to stop work. In his journal, Hofmann wrote that after becoming dizzy he proceeded home and was affected by a "remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness". Hofmann stated that as he lay in his bed he sank into a pleasant "intoxicated like condition" which was characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. He stated that he was in a dreamlike state, and with his eyes closed he could see uninterrupted streams of "fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors." The condition lasted about two hours after which it faded away.[3] Hofmann had attributed the psychoactive effects he experienced to accidentally absorbing a tiny amount of LSD-25 into his skin. Three days later he would take a much larger dose in order to test its effects further, and this day would later be referred to as the "Bicycle Day"
Just scientific curiosity right ::)

People nowadays would probably get arrested for domestic terrorism if they tried anything interesting.

I worry about that with some of my hobbies. Looks bad but harmless type things

You know that's true.
There was this guy who was arrested for mixing chemicals in his garage when they exploded, but he wasn't really a terrorist at all, just a middle-aged guy who was interested in chemistry.

If I put lots of bubbling glassware on my windowsill, I wonder how long it would be until the police turned up at the door. I've already had a visit from them due to my blue fairy lights, which someone thought were for growing cannabis.

You must have a lot of bored policemen where you live.
What happened? Did they search your house?

I made a post about it here (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php/topic,2837.msg363845.html#msg363845). My mum invited them inside to have a look and they left without incident, but it wasn't a wise move on her part, and I've tried to educate her since then about how to handle police encounters. Unfortunately, she thinks that the police are there to serve and protect, rather than to meet bureaucratic targets for detections and arrests.

Sorry. I had forgotten, but as soon I saw your post I remembered reading it before.
Maybe your mom did the wisest thing, since you really had nothing to hide.

I wasn't growing cannabis, but that doesn't mean that a pair of policemen snooping around the house wouldn't turn up something else of interest, even if it was something as simple as my prescription dexamphetamine being stored outside of it's original container, and with the authorities being so jumpy about terrorism these days, a pile of loose electronic components and tools on my desk could be mistaken for a bomb lab. It may sound insane, but if this guy (http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/default.asp?article_id=32086) can be arrested by armed police under the Terrorism Act and detained for 18 hours for photographing an electricity pylon, I think my caution is justified.

she probably did the wisest thing in an oppressive world where the police either are let in or let themselves in.
i wouldn't want the police in my room, even though there's nothing illegal they'd see all my accumulation of wine bottles and beer cans and stuff. ::) talk about embarassing. also they'd probably come in with shoes on because irish weirdos do that. we take shoes off in the house thankyouverymuch. and i'm OCD, i don't want people in my room, i have enough problems with germs. god i hate this planet sometimes.
-
I'm not taking my shoes off in your house, unless I've stepped in mud or shit.

The wisest thing would have been that the Brits never had let them disarm themselves. The pigs have nothing to do in his home.

I got interrogated by them once when they came to my house for something else and could see some of my labware from the door God forbid they ever searched here and found all my toys and collector items

Maybe your junk is the perfect cover... who's going to be nuts enough to search it thoroughly? ;D
