A fun combo. I remember in college chemistry class one of the guys dropping a cent (no clad cents at that time) in concentrated nitric acid. Very interesting browish gas released. He had it cleaned up by the time the instructor got there. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   01-05-2009, 09:34 PM   #15 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 3,807 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kanga Very interesting browish gas released.
