      @@gljames24 Chlorine trifluoride would do it, that stuff oxidizes practically anything including glas, sand, water, and all metals, even the notoriously unreactive gold. It can only be stored in steel, copper, or nickel containers and not because it doesn't oxidize them, but because the resulting rust sticks to the metal protecting it from further contact with Chloring trifluoride. As long as you don't bump or shake it, or scratch the protective coating off. If it touches your skin, the moisture in your skin will make it explode. If your skin is dry your skin will ignite after which the blood under your skin will explode. If that doesn't kill you, the explosions result in a cloud of acid steam, and if that doesn't kill you both the substance itself and anything it turns into after reacting with you is toxic as hell.
      For such a dangerous substance the list of safety equipment is very short and a bit unusual, since it only contains one item: A good pair of running shoes. (Dr. John D. Clark)
      Anyway, my point is: anything is flammable in powder form if you replace the O2 with ClF3.

    Not that it's a bad thing, [i mean,it doesn't offend me],but the amount of sexual innuendo and double entendres on this show amazes me and i don't think any Australian TV audience would be accepting of it. Surprisingly to some,maybe, Aussie TV viewers are pretty straight when it comes to that kind of stuff,i reckon.

    that convoluted apparatus is a terrible way to illustrate combustable powders ... simplicity shows it clearer .. simply put a pinch on the desk and blow it with a straw over a flame ..

    That's a stupid stat. By the same logic you could also probably say that being a librarian is more dangerous than playing Russian roulette because more librarians die of old age than people play Russian roulette

      I've known a few women who said that, or that they 'just knew' they'd conceived.
