Last January, I celebrated my birthday all week long. On Day 3, my roommate, Kathleen, and I decided to make something explode. This was just as the Diet Coke and Mentos thing was starting to get big, so we tried that. We called my friend, Darren, who has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and makes a living building machines that burn chicken poo to produce energy, and told him what we had in our apartment. He gave us suggestions on combinations that might blow up, and we gave one of them a try.
