By the way, visible mojo for the quote in your sig line that motivated me to start this thread.

So did I! It even had an oil jar fueled "bunsen" burner. I used to burn things with it.

I also used to mix some chemicals and make things turn pretty colors.

Oh, wait. That last part was the egg dying at Easter. I'm sure there will be some "study" out there soon that shows someone has died (or dyed) from it, and then they'll ban that too. Watch out! We're all gonna dye!!!

If you dig around a bit it is possible to still find fun chemical toys.

Of course this much fun always comes at a price...

Edited to add: Ahh ha! I found a REAL chemistry set that the man has not yet stomped on, it includes an alcohol burner and everything. I might just have to add this to my boys christmas list.

OMG - You can buy AEROGEL from these people!!! Even if I can only get small chunks, I still may buy some (I am not sure what you could do with the granular stuff)

Use it to make one hell of a thermos.

Today I fear that over the phone I might not come across as well as I should

I should be dead by now. I played regularly with Click-Clacks, Creepy Crawlies (even ate some), slip and slides, water wiggles, lawn darts, and in my friends un-fenced pool.

I loved my Water Wiggle!

And then, my mom threw it away once she heard a news story about a freak accident in which one "strangled" a child somewhere.

I've played with water wiggles, slip and slides, in backyards with unfenced pools. We rode bikes without helmets, stayed out until the lights came on, rode around in the back of pick-up trucks and cars without seat belts. And we're still here.

When we'd go camping in the dunes, they'd hook a tow rope to a Jeep and drag us around on an old car hood when I was a kid.
