My father in law was legendary at dangerous experimentsAs a child/teenager he created TNT and various other explosives, resulting in various craters, burned science blocks and more.
My favourite one, however, comes from when he was an adult in charge of a nuclear reactor. They had a major problem with seagulls, so he got hold of some sodium and put it in a jar of fish oil (in case you don't know, sodium is kept in oil to prevent it oxidising and exploding). He then cut it into small pieces and put them on the roof. Seagulls come swooping down, swallow the pieces whole, fly off and BOOM! No bicarbonate of soda needed thanks!
Picture the environmentalists reaction seeing seagulls flying over a nuclear reactor and exploding.
