    Had a chemistry professor in college who loved demonstrating chemical reactions. One end to a semester he let students come to his house to celebrate. They had a little too much to drink, and is I recall he told us, students took a 1kg brick of his potassium in a boat on the lake he lived next to. They threw it overboard and had a giant explosion. They all came away unscathed, but I guess that explosion was heard for miles. He was a great teacher, everyone was enthusiastic about learning in his class.
