      I got kicked out of a class for making a sink explode – that was a home economics class so don’t ask me what went wrong there. We used to do experiments in chemistry which involved explosive reactions, sometimes they weren’t supposed to but everyone loves an explosion, right? I’ve built rockets which are fired using explosive motors. I’ve never actually exploded anything brainiacs-style though.

      I have exploded a custard powder tin with a candle, we tried it on the games field at school, that was awesome.
      We also did it with different types of salts in, so they came up different colours, a bit like fireworks.
      Well cool.
