It's a great shame John Walker is no longer with us, he was a bright fellow (even though I thought his company's products were too expensive). I loved his Hacker's Diet book, a true techie's approach to dieting. Certainly worth a read if one's interested in such things.
No doubt those of us who've gravitated to this link like watching things that go bang so make sure you read Walker's link at the bottom of the Nitrogen Triiodide page to his article on FOOF—aka Dioxygen Difluoride (O2F2). Also, make sure you read the link in that page to Derek Lowe's blog in Science's site Things I Won't Work With.
Every chemist should read Lowe's blogs, they're not only informative but often entertaining. I've copied the FOOF link here for convenience (this truly is chemistry at the bleeding edge):
