I've broken down the text into five sections; anyone who wants to illustrate a section should lay dibs on it now. Or... if it's just McDuffies and xmung, you two can fight out which to do.
Lay dibs in the thread; send links to your illustrations to me via PM and I'll create a new thread with the whole shebang when it's done. I'll also post it (with associated credits) on RC.
Anyone think this should be it's own thread?

Section #1:
Children gather around a baby pool of water; their teacher is holding an old brown glass jar filled with oil. At the bottom of the jar are several hundred small pieces of cesium; each silvery metal piece is about the size of a pencil eraser. The teacher unscrews the jar and unceremoniously dumps the entire contents into the pool.
During the first two seconds, while the children and the teacher watch patiently, the oil begins to disperse. As the cesium comes into contact with the water, the water starts to boil. The boiling scatters the pieces, while the heat of the reaction makes them start to melt. Children

ok - i drew this up... based on a loose interpretation of your earlier outline...! it's as rough as sandpaper, but you'll get the idea:

pornographic in nature???????????????
sheesh... you should have a word with your admin/tech types and tell 'em that 'nude in nature' ain't 'pornographic in nature'!
anyway, try <a href="http://www.users.bigpond.com/xmung/Cs.gif" target="_blank">this</a> instead... it'll be a bit slower to load, probably but should do the trick...
everyone else use <a href="http://www.loxieandzoot.com/Cs.gif" target="_blank">this</a>...
i'd use yarps code thingy that everyone else seems to be using when putting their stuff on keenspace, but haven't looked at how to use it.

That's great! *snicker*
Mind if I put this out on my strip's site (in a few days)?

glad ya like it!
yeah - please do post it. (and if you wanna send a link my way, you can point readers to <a href="http://magellan.keenspace.com" target="_blank">magellan</a> if you prefer! it has a slightly more '(pseudo) scientific/non-'porno' nature

i've always been fascinated by the practical application of science but not the hard theory...
i imagine that dr. duff and his unfortunate class of kiddies could rise from the dead ("kenny of south park"-like) for another fatal encounter with a scientific principle... and another... and another...

That might be a fun thing to update on the side. Dr. Duff and his Horrifying Adventures in Science.

Don't get me started.... A few months ago we had a local school close down because a teacher left the chemistry lab unlocked, and some kids got in and found a (beaker?) of mercury. Then they started playing with it and throwing it at other kids. That school was closed for a week. Don't know what happened to the teacher or the kids, though. RLC, the Keenspace/ComiGen chicken.

Ah, yes.... the good life....
Smell the freshly-made bread, enjoy your breakfast, work on your garden under the golden sun, the cool morning air rustling the foliage... drive by the school and watch the children die horribly at the hands of their incompetent chemistry teacher...
Boy, you first-worlders have it SO easy...

Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.
Something like that happened in my class.
One student brought an experiment and the teacher let him do it.
First he lit up aluminium+ferrum oxide. Flash!
Then he did the same with molibdenium oxide (I think).
This one exploded.
Ruined the ceramic bowl it was in, and the table.
And there was a cloud of floating molibdenium strands- apparently the red hot drops of molibdenium, going at say 100m/s freeze into tiny hairwidth strands before they can even reach the ceiling.
'twas cool.

My chemistry teacher used to bring a bag of jelly babies (that actually looked like babies, mind) to every lesson and would then proceed to indulge in "killing" them in varied and very entertaining ways.
