My sulfuric acid came in the mail today!
Yes, it seems that in our wonderfully advanced world it's ridiculously easy to get dangerous chemicals. These days you can't just walk into a corner drug store and buy some plutonium, but apparently you can get it sent to your doorstep in 3-5 business days. No, I didn't order any plutonium or other radioactive materials, though it was both available and affordable! But as I proceded through the order process, I kept expecting to run into some kind of virtual barracade. Something requiring a license or credentials, or even an online form to which I would have to add my virtual signature promising not to throw my acid in the faces of others or conduct unsafe experiments. Nope. Well then, on to the unsafe experiments!
Actually I got it for cleaning purposes, but I know myself well enough that with a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid at my disposal I don't expect to be able to suppress my curiosity for long. Hmm, what would happen if...
You know, it's probably a good thing that I didn't get any plutonium.
