There are some agents that do become highly volatile when they become wet and mix together quickly. Not saying it would taste good, but I'm saying I could see it being possible that someone could accidentally chew it some how.

I wonder how big the explosion was. Course it depends on how much he got on his gum, but it must have been pretty forceful to blow his jaw off...

It could have been the pressure when he chewed it. Nitroglycerin explodes under pressure so it may have been to late to tell he had dipped it in the wrong substance. It may not have bene nitroglycerin but he was a chemistry student so it could have been a number of things adf the pressure of the actual chewing on it caused it to explode.

He would have had to been a new fucking level of retarded to pull that shit of.

Oh, I guess merriam AND webster both disagree on how I used the term. I don't know how to use an adjective like they do.

When you say fantastic I think of something great or awesome. It, at some point in the history of language, might have actually meant fanatical or something, but in the last 100 or so years it has a positive meaning.




It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum,

And I'm all outta gum...

I just stop believing these fantastic stories from wherever, wherever.Russia, wherever.Ukraine... Between stories of X-ray vision girl, space ships coming out of hyperspace, and exploding bubble gum... I apply this rule of thumb to anything reported by whatever news agency.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with the use of the word "fantastic" in this sentence. It is used correctly.

"fanatic" has nothing to do with any of this. Little girls are fanatics when it come to the Jonas Brothers. This does not mean they want to blow their jaws off. This means they have an obsession of sorts. They are FANS. Hence, fanatical. The term would be properly used in: supersloth is a Steelers football fanatic.

"fantastic" is something based in fantasy. While it's primary use may to describe something as being good, it is still correctly used when stating the story is fantastic. It doesn't mean the story is good. It means the story is rooted in fantasy, that it didn't really happen. It is false. It is fiction. It is made up.

If you want to rip on the poor guy for something, how about his punctuation? It's atrocious.

I could be wrong here, but it seems to me that a 'substance' that will explode when sucked would not taste good. Don't you think the guy would have known it didn't taste like the stuff he thought he was swallowing?

What could have caused the explosion? The sucking part? If it was caused by getting it hard... then it would be hard already before he put it in his mouth. If it was the swallowing, then he would have tasted it and known it wasn't right (and probably spit it out).

I don't know, but this story seems to be arousing.

Hey.. before you judge me, I'm pretty sure this is what Olive was thinking when she wrote it..

btw, fixed..

Well yeah like I said if he had been dipping into potassium or another alkali metal, they are all on the acidic side of the spectrum which acidic acid also is. Alkali metals react with water to explode. So, gobing on some would probably blow off your lip before you noticed it. Just a theory anyway.

Yeah, and you shouldn't play around with that acidic acid coz it's really acidic.

Yo dawg i heard you like acidic acid in your acid. So we dropped some acid in your acid so your head can explode while your head explodes.
