When my trousers explode, I tend to die

As any fule kno!

Mixing sodium chlorate weedkiller with a combustible organic to make an explosive is one of the oldest tricks in the schoolboy chemist's book! I did this when i was little, having learned the trick from someone probably forty years older - we used blotting paper as the fuel, and rolled it up and stuffed it in a cigar tube to make a rocket. It really shouldn't have taken any great feat of science to work that one out.
