As you may of noticed I haven't been that active lately, well I've been in hospital for the past few days after a minor accident with a scientific experiment. As many of you may know Solid potassium reacts violently with water (usually catching fire at room temperature).
Well I must admit what I did made a lovely explosion but consequently I've been out of action for awhile, I added way to much Potassium in a practice experiment before testing it with a class, the bowl shattered and took the protective screen with it sending glass shards into me. As you can guess I went to the hospital while looking like a bloody mess.
A warning to you all.
If there is too much K then:
K+H2O = PAIN
