Today, boys and girls, it's time to learn the basics of recreational
chemistry. The following recipies are the easiest and most common of
ingredients of many earth-shaking items.

Our first item on the menu was first discovered by the Chinese (those
yellow buggers know how to party!) about...oh, too fuckin' many years ago
to even care about anymore.  BLACK POWDER was not a reason for riots in
the 60's, but was probably used in a few.  This compound is so very easy
to make, that you morons might be able to make it without screwing up.
The three ingredients needed are finely ground charcoal, sulpher, and
potassium nitrate (salt peter).  Mix one part sulpher, two parts charcoal,
and three parts potassium nitrate and you have your finished product.

A variation of the above compound which is more powerful and fun can be
made by mixing liquid nitric or sulphuric acid into the powder 'till all
the powder is wet and has the consistency of paste.  Spread this paste
thinly on paper, let is dry, then grind it into a fine powder.  These two
compounds will be used in many ways which will be discussed in future
volumes.

Our second item is commonly used in place of black powder, is less
powerful, and is easier to make.  To make GUN COTTON, simply soak regular
cotton in sulpheric acid and let dry.  This is probably the most
under-rated explosive around because if not used correctly, it has only a
limited effect.  If used right, however, it can be devastating.  This
compound will also be called upon to be used in future volumes.

Now boys and girls, because you've been so good (or bad), I am going to
give you a bonus assignment today.  This compound doesn't go bang, but can
be much more fun to use.  First, find an empty tuna can (the top must be
cut off, forming a small container).  Put one-half cup of sugar and
one-half cup potassium nitrate in the can and place it on a stove burner
at very low heat. Stir the ingredients until they are melted completely.
While still in liquid form, place several matchheads or a quality fuse in
the mixtrure.  After it cools, light this and it makes for a terrific
amount of smoke which is basically harmless.

For a more fun version, mix one-half cup powdered chlorine bleach in right
after removing the compound from the heat.  Mix it well then add the
matches or fuse.  This, of course, will make a crude form of chlorine gas
which will temporarily blind those exposed and make breathing painful with
the side effects lasting sometimes a week or more.  Remember kiddies, to
wear your running shoes, because these two smokebombs burn and spread fast
(3-6 seconds).

These simple items were made especially for you, boys and girls, so use
them for fun and gags whenever you get the chance.  Remember my motto:
HIT 'EM HIGH, HIT 'EM LOW, HIT 'EM WHERE IT JUST WON'T SHOW.

                Till next time...
                        Great White
