methanol bomb

Methanol is a volatile liquid which will easily vaporise when shaken in a large water cooler, since the relatively weak hydrogen bonds holding the methanol molecules together are fairly easily overcome at room temperature. Being an alcohol, it's also very flammable.

We need a skateboard for that water cooler like you said sir, we need to invent an alternative form of transport for us who wont be able to learn to drive after the driving age goes up, if it does. We need to take this experiment outside and perhaps set your arm on fire again as i have heared you did once :D.
