My brother is currently an engineering student at the Y. He says one of his material science teachers ran an experiment where he compressed water to 40% of its normal volume. It got up to about 1 million psi.
And it exploded.
The other material science teacher owns a MiG fighter.
I am so jealous. But he keeps going off about the new mini Mac, so I'm scared that the engineering program is subverting my little brother.

The best part of taking a chemistry class is the explosions. If other science teachers could figure out a way to incorporate pyrotechnics into their cirriculum, then more students would have an interest in the sciences.
