@ phissionkorps: Wow! I'd say I look forward to chemisty mischief in my future, however nowadays if a college kid throws some sodium/potassium in to a pool he's a terrorist and will have a PartyVan crawling up his back in seconds. Alas, the days of innocent mischief are gone.
@ herenorthere: Unless, of course, you want to show off your brand new TUMOR to your friends. They'll all be jealous and want one, too! lol Oh, and I believe Agent Orange is related to Auxins.
@ Roundup/AO: I don't belive Agent Orange (or any of the other Agents) are in use today. I don't believe Roundup works the same way. However, it's a pretty nasty herbicide and has some unfun chemicals in there as well!
HOWEVER: Two companies that were producing Agent Orange include Monsanto and Dow Chemicals (the fine, fine folks who brought us Napalm.) Monsanto is the company that produces Roundup, so while Agent Orange doesn't = Roundup, we've got the same great minds working behind the scenes. (As if we needed another reason to despise Monsanto, they already are pretty much the only reason I give and anti-GE agriculture people any time of day.)
For some other interesting reading, read up on some of the other Agents including Pink, Purple, Green, which had multiple TIMES the amount of dioxin poisoning goodness of Orange. YUM!
BTW, Joe!! It's good to see you man! Haven't seen ya post in a long time (I remember when you said you were stopping CP.) Good to hear from you again. You lurk around here every now and then?
