Very funny! 😆 Wouldn’t have been so had he lost a foot or at least a toe, which it seems quite miraculous he didn’t! I was a terrible chemist. Fine at the exams but keep me away from test tubes! Could not titrate to save myself. But I did try to make napalm by immersing polystyrene in petrol. I have no idea if the resulting foul smelling silvery goop had any relation to napalm but unsurprisingly it did go whoosh when ignited.
