Very dangerous things from around your house: Thermite.....

It would be irresponsible to tell you how to make something dangerous. That said: There are instructions for thermite all over the internet already, and the ingredients are literally lying around your house (if you look carefully). There are supersonic, razor sharp, electrocuting, scalding, poisonous things within feet of you right now. And sometimes massive rocks just fall out of the sky and kill whole races.

So the recipe is at the end of this post.

Now listen to us carefully: If you f**k about with this stuff you will get someone very seriously killed, and we're not taking responsibility.

And especially don't do what the Braniac team did with this car......



Thermite is 8 parts by weight of powdered rust to 3 parts of powdered aluminium. Nothing special about either ingredient, you can buy or make both very, very easily. Put them together in a container and mix them until it is an even mixture. To light the thermite you'll need a VERY long section of magnesium strip as fuse, and a hot blue flame to light the strip.

But, unless you need to take down a Terminator*, don't.

*If you do: Thermite will kill anything up to a T-600 in one go, and it should slow even a T-1000 down a fair bit. But that will make for a very short movie.
