Cripes, I thought everybody knew how to make thermite. We used to make it all the time - in fact, it's about the only thing that works nicely when you have to burn a hole in steel plate.

They sell thorium and uranium just like that? WTF. All it asks for is a PayPal account. Even the elemental potassium could really fuck up your day. You don't need magnesium to ignite it. Plain ol' H2O will do.

a little liquid oxygen and some axle grease will give you a popping good time as well . . . . but I fear we travel the Al Queda route and are seriously attempting to over-achieve in regards to fiery mischief. After all this is simply mental masturbation and geek ego-play when a few well placed stickies or molotov's will accomplish the same destructive goal with less risk and prettier flames.

Plastique. A favorite.
Nobel wasn't bad, for a Swede.

That would be somewhat disquieting if true.

When I was in college the railroad was doing some re-construction on their tracks behind the campus. We discovered to our delight that they used little plastic containers of thermite to weld copper cable to the tracks. The magnesium was in the bottom of the container so a small hole was needed to spark the stuff off with a spark gun. Within a week there were huge spalls in the sidewalks all over the campus where this stuff had been burned. Some asshole put one on the hood of a car and burned through the manifold.
Damn, those were the days...
