"Combine potassium permanganate and ethylene glycol (found as antifreeze)

it needs to be warmed to about 35* and mixed into a paste, this will yeild a powerful plastic explosive. The easiest way to do this is to put on a latex glove (so it doesn't stain your skin), grab a handful of KMnO4 and drizzle the ethylene glycol on slowly, churning it between your fingers. This provides the right amount of heat and mixes it well without the need for complex magnetic stirrers or oil baths."

Because I am curious, and thankfully cautious, I just added Potassium Permanganate to ethylene glycol and it self ignited in 24 seconds? Why would you tell a bunch of kids to try this, in their hand no less?

Natural selection. Smart people - Such as yourself - Will research it first, look it up or test out a small amount in a safe way. Anybody retarded enough to try and mix explosives in their hands deserves to lose them.

Thats quite right ghosts, up for a beer sometime?

Your credibility wanes. Goodbye.

I was in a bad mood. Nobody's actually retarded enough to do that, so it's not important.

For those of you who missed it, mixing 'explosives' in your hands is a bad idea.
