From Fake Science on Tumblr.

Ohkayyyyy!

Dude, I really remember learning this in 5th grade science class.

When I was in elementary school, they still hauled out the really dangerous stuff. (Potassium permanganate and a manganese ribbon???? Maybe???? Anyway, not a smoke hood in sight.)

So that whole European airspace mess could have been avoided if they'd just had a green food coloring injection system in place on Eyjafjallajökull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull)? Dang.

Ohhhh these are fantastic. Is it wrong that I sort of want to print some and use them as nursery decorations? (Or, I would if I had a nursery.)

::applause::

*snort*

I love it.

Of course, egg whites, food coloring, dry ice, and hot water work too. And then you have dry ice to experiment with. :-)

You know, I've always wanted to do a live thermite reaction as a volcano demo for a school group sometime. Unfortunately, I think insurance would have a heart attack :)

Genius.
