World's Most Exciting Chemistry Movies

Michael Buckbee writes: "After Dan's page got too slashdotted to view, I ran a quick search on Google for more more fun Ferroliquid sites and stumbled into a collection of movies that I wish had been taken in my chemistry classes. Almost all of the experiment descriptions lean heavily on the phrase "EXTREME DANGER" and many contain other fun words like: "Explosion", "Toxic", "Detonation", and "Diazotization"."

    Sorta like the 'light my fart' pictures that those morons in high school were always trying to take.

    Blue flames abound, but we were always puzzled by the one guy who produced green flames. Never did figure out how.

    I remember when they tried to market the movie "2(VLSPADKTNV KAAWGKVGAH AGEYGAEALE RMFLSFPTTK TYFPHFDLSH GSAQVKGHGK KVADALTNAV AHVDDMPNAL SALSDLHAHK LRVDPVNFKL LSHCLLVTLA AHLPAEFTPA VHASLDKFLA SVSTVLTSKY R)2(VHLTPEEKSA VTALWGKVNV DEVGGEALGR LLVVYPWTQR FFESFGDLST PDAVMGNPKV KAHGKKVLGA FSDGLAHLDN LKGTFATLSE LHCDKLHVDP ENFRLLGNVL VCVLAHHFGK EFTPPVQAAY QKVVAGVANA LAHKYH)", but apparently the audience wasn't prepared for something like that. They had to rename it "Hemoglobin". Some people still didn't quite get it, so it became "Bleeders".

    Uh, 150,000 died at Dresden alone. How did that win the war?

    The point is not rehashing particular decisions of the war, but to point out that sometimes to preserve the freedom of the world, it's necessary that innocents die along with the evil doers. Should we have not fought the Nazis just because some innocent Germans would be caught up in the conflict as well? The answer is no. Sometimes freedom has to be fought for, whatever the cost.
