    when all the kids were asleep we did that with all the camp counsellors... It was SO much fun but it's still dangerous, we had the right equipment(and info)to handle it though.

    The wax contains limp-WHAT?
    IT'S THE WATER THAT EXPLODES, NOT THE WAX, stupid fuck, the heat in the wax separates the water's nitrogen and oxygen molecules, which then reoxidize.

      Lipids. Not limp-something. Lipids are fat. I learned this in 8th grade, seriously.

      What? WTF? You're trolling, right? I refuse to believe someone is that stupid.

    i show this experiment to kids in class using cooking oil instead of candles and have to spend a long time explaining that it's one of the most dangerous experiments we do.
    to add insult to injury (probably literally in this case) they don't even get the reason for the fireball right! some halfassed explaination with big sciency words isn't going to help that 'eyebrow' grow back.
    and 'melt the candles down to wax'... they weren't wax before they were melted?
    science and popular media, a highly dangerous and volatile mix.. they go together like..

    The same thing almost burned down my house when I was a kid, boiling wax on the stove and someone threw water in it when it burst into flames. The wax got it's revenge though when ten years later a candle finally burned down my entire house.

    Does this dumbass realize G4's target demographic is 18+ gamers?

      And it's so much better that they're telling 18+ (when it's probably 13-19) year olds how to blow stuff up?

    Did you notice how, in spite of all the 'don't try this at home' crap, they didn't phrase it as "First we're going to" or "First our experimenter" or anything like that? They actually said, "First you do this, then you do this", phrasing it as step-by-step instructions to be carried out by the viewer. I mean, other than the perfunctory warnings, they didn't even attempt to pretend that it wasn't a guide to actually doing it at home.

    I love the point about the "Do not attempt this at home" tag, and the candy-eye thing!!

    that was fucking hilarious. And Gladstone, as the picture turned out not to be a fake, I recommend that you ignore these assholes. I mean, the picture was leaked by Warner Brothers . . . they WANTED people to see it, and it was all over the internet. And besides, it's fucking TWO-FACE. They showed us what Joker looked like in December, and that was a much more radical departure/surprise. Sheesh. Fanboys.

    Gladstone, you've been defending yourself throughout these comments by saying the Two-Face pic is fake, it's not, he looks EXACTLY like that in the movie. Also, knowing that half his face is mutulated isn't the same as knowing exactly how they decided to make him look. I'm pretty sure most people didn't expect him to look like that. So, again, thanks for spoiling it.
