Magnesium Demo and Surprise Guests! Slightly-Mad Science

Demonstration Material is Dangerously-Stupid, do not try this yourself.
Magnesium is one of the most commonly used structural metals, being light and strong. It's necessary for living cells. And was used in early flash photography. But what you really want to know, is it 'splodey? Let's find out!! Oh, and there are also special appearances by "Chris Crocker" and the "Cookie Monster" (both impersonations done badly by me) as they drag you kicking and screaming through a few Internet Memes of 2007.
You can refer to WebElements (http://www.webelements.com/magnesium/ ) for more on Magnesium. Or just use Google, silly.

Special thanks goes out to Martyrd (www.myspace.com/martyrd) for the use of "Blue and Black" in this video, and to Andrew (www.myspace.com/morbidcaffienejunkies) for being an excellent camera-using minion.

The cookie monster didn't help? :(

[thagnomus]

where do you get the magnesium powder?

btw this is COOKIE!!!

[TaoOfPooh26]

Mg Powder from Skylighter (dot) com. It's a US company that specializes in firework-making supplies. However, something as dangerous as fine-grain Magnesium powder is usually only shippable domestically via ground. So you may have to find a supplier closer to Norway in your case.

Good! I wouldn't want to think I'd go through all that effort to be an idiot if no one laughed. :)
