Your Basement Chemistry Lab

Just the other day, I thought about how neato my basement would look with a laboratory set up like Dr. Frankenstein, with beakers and burners and electrical gadgets. Now Wired has a how-to video on just that!

They don’t make chemistry sets like they used to — no more uranium or explosives. What’s an aspiring mad scientist to do? Go DIY. In your own smoking, bubbling lair, you can make everything from bouncy balls to rocket motors. Here’s a catalyst to get you started.

This Guy Should Do an Ad for Sharpie

I can tell you that if I tried to decorate our basement in Sharpie, it would look nothing like this. Then again, I’m not so artistically inclined. The link has video of the entire room, which better shows just how extensive the drawings are. There are lots of little touches, such as a trash can that has been doodled on to look like R2D2 and various literary figures sprinkled throughout the room.
