           "Potassium and Basketball...a deadly combination..."
             A 1/2 story half tutorial by The Digital Hunter 

   This tale I am about to tell you was passed on to me in english class, 
while lurking in a corner sharing rumors one of my chums told me a story about
a Boy, his basketball, and a chunck of potassium...here goes.

   Potassium, as you may or may not know, is highly reactive...often kept in
formaldahyde it has a violent reaction with water, it will incinerate itself
and generate heat in excess of ø4000Ÿ...in other words don't get water near 
it.  Apparently this knowledge was passed on to the wrong person because a 
junior in my school a few years back had stolen a chunck of potassium from 
the school chemistry lab, and had plans for it...We weren't sure what they 
were, we may never be sure but you can bet it would have been almost as cool
as what actually happened...well, like I said he took it and stuck it in his 
pocket, and went through the day fine.  But, after school he saw some kids 
throwing around a basketball and decided to join in on the fun, and had played
for over an hour when the sweat had soaked into his shorts, and -áOOM- touched
the potassium...this kids entire leg went up...

  We didn't believe him so we went to our english teacher, who confirmed the 
  story and added a little detail..."I was out there, being the english 
  teacher as well as cross country coach, and was the first on the scene...it
  smelled like a sick barbeque of pork and hair, leaving a terrible stench in 
  the air...the medical team dragged him off into the bathroom, where they 
  stripped him down and began to work on his wound...his entire leg was burnt 
  up...I waited outside and while I was talking to another member of faculty
  another kid had wondered into the bathroom, shouted "His dick is black!" 
  and ran out..." 

So there it was, staring us right in the face that potassium and basketball 
don't mix...This story I have told you is true, the names have been changed to
protect the innocent...and now onto Part Two of this File: 

              "How to make your own Potassium bomb"

   First step is the most difficult, how to get the potassium...It seems the
only way to really get it is to snag it from the school science lab, which is
easier said then done.  I became a teachers assistant to the science teacher,
which aside from giveing me a credit in practical arts gave me both trust and
access to the chemistry lab.  From here on in it wasn't that hard...grab it,
wrap it in a little plastic bag, and head on out.  I wasn't the first kid
on my block to grab one, my friend Brian was, and when he showed up with the
chunck of silver metal in his hand I nearly shit my pants, as much from the 
mere possibilities as to the frightening image of one of my friends' hands 
going up in flames...Now the problem was how to get the bitch to go off.  We
talked about putting it in the street and spraying it with a super soaker, 
but decided against that...so next we ried a bunch of stuff, until finally 
I came up with this design...we took a coke bottle and filled it up with 
water, and then took a small glass container, put a small chunck of potassium
inside and made sure it was water proof...BE SURE, YOU DON'T GET A SECOND 
CHANCE.  Next, we went outside, and threw it as far as we could and ran.  When
it hit the ground the bottle on the outside shattered first, sending water 
on the street, when the smaller bottle inside hit, shattering it and putting
the potasisum to the water...it worked like a charm, and we were greeted with
a great fire works show...This bomb is pretyy expensive, about $3 per time, 
and kind of dangerous so don't try it unless you're either a)drunk  
b)stoned   c)superman    d)have balls as big my knee.
