Caution:
It can be very adictive and gobble up hours of your otherwise production time.

OK, hands up everyone who aimed for target A but accidentally hit target B....Mark, you said this had nothing to do with woodworking!

Cool game Mark, I just found it disconcerting to see a thread started by a chemist with the word KABOOM in the title.

Glen,

What's life without a little exictement. Someday I may regale you with my story of blowing out 14 ceiling tiles in my college laboratory when I attempted (successfully) to make plastic explosives using Iodine crystals. Or the ether fire during a reduction reaction. I moved to adhesive chemistry at the request of the American chemical society. It was all for the public good. Ah the good ol days.
