I wouldn't sweat it. It's a college chemistry lab. Commercial
   industry has all the good stuff.

   I remember some wicked concoctions people came up with in high
   school chemistry class though. I loved the exploding drawer.
   Teacher opens top desk drawer, gets a flash of light and puff of
   stinky smoke. Fun stuff - we laughed for 10 minutes straight.
   Now I realize the girl who did it was a tad sociopathic in other
   ways but we were teenagers.
