    I could get a diamond, I suppose.
    Try befriending someone at the nearest dive shop. They could hook you up with Oxygen and nitrogen, probably helium too. How pure is the O2 you get in oxygen bars?

    Aye, I was just about to suggest an oxygen bar. There’s still one in Edinburgh, I think.

    I've been reading up on the feasibility of the collection and it seems that it's entirely possible to get a good 90+ over a number of years.
    This guy has done it and gives loads of tips and advice. He even counts plutonium among his collection (albeit in a sample of rock containing a small amount of plutonium).

    It's not an element. Unless you're a pagan of some sort.

    Caesium, pound for pound, apparently, isn't as much fun as sodium when you throw it into water. Even though it's much more reactive you need an impossible-to-obtain amount of it to get a better explosion than sodium simply because the sodium is a lower atomic weight, so will contain more atoms, and will liberate more hydrogen (which is where the explosion's actually coming from).

    "Brainiac", hugely disappointingly, found this out. So, rather than explain the real science, they faked their demonstration by using explosives.
