Ah, mercury fulminate. In high school AP biology, the only other student and
I (it was a small school :-) both knew the book right and left, and the
teacher knew it, so we spent most of the time making explosives out of the
chemical stock. We made a nice quantity of that stuff and blew up a number of
petri dishes with it between classes, and fortunately most of the shards
blew away before anyone noticed.
