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
