And the rest of the links at the top of that MeFi entry are worth reading.

Chemistry sets, and simple substances available to the public, that I don't see much hope for the future of that field. When I was a kid, if I couldn't make it change color, precipitate out, a stink bomb out of it, or cause a (relatively) minor explosion, I never would have went into the field.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
