Ugh.
That's not a real animal, is it?
Or at least a padded one. Those eyes are looking crazy.
We did not catch such ugly ones.
It were those beautiful creatures:

Stay here and wait for an answer! Are you a man or a mouse.
Mouse, hm, where is the cat lady, when you need her? ;-)

I see, why they didn't let you do experiments at school, did they?
You had too much knowledge of doing explosions.
You blew up sugar? How did that look like? (I don't want to try it myself.)

But they did let us do experiments, we just kept the dangerous ones quiet.

No I did not make a bomb with sugar and fertiliser I made my own gunpowder. In
those days you could buy saltpetre and sulphur in a chemist (separately of
course) charcoal was easy to make or buy.
I think that it stood me well in later life when I had to stop explosions and
fires in the Oil Industry.

And you had never to visit a new school for some times, when they had to rebuild
your school building? ;)
Okay, no silent explosions.

But you didn't stop it with selfmade gunpowder, did you? :)
But you are sooo right. It is really a helpful experience. (If I had made that,
I wouldn't have been too careful at my very first experiments. [remembering
myself asking every time "Is that right? Can I make that this way?"])

Actually my school did burn down the year I was due to go to it (12 ~ 18 years).
My Father (a fireman) was there and he said that some of the younger kids tried
to stop them putting it out, by pleading mostly.
>Okay, no silent explosions.
???

but they didn't succeed?

Only thinking, that you couldn't have done explosions, because you did silently
dangerous experiments. :)

Well the school was burnt down and had to be demolished. We were schooled in
another school building that had just been vacated.
