Truly a classic... and the whole series is loads of fun. Then there's this set of three articles in this series: "Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane": "I’d call for all the chemists who’ve ever worked with a hexanitro compound to raise their hands, but that might be assuming too much about the limb-to-chemist ratio." "Peroxide Peroxides": "There are a lot of things, unfortunately, that can lead to peroxide decomposition – all sorts of metal contaminants, light, spitting at them (most likely), and it doesn’t take much." And then, the punch line, where our hexanitro compound above gets some extra oomph: "What This Here Compound Needs is Some Hydrogen Peroxide." "So I have to congratulate these folks; they’ve managed to combine two of my Things I Won’t Work With entries into the same flippin’ substance."
