I was thinking about having hime bring in my multi-meter and several jars of different liquids and show the various difference in conductivity. My Wife thinks thats stupid so of course I have to dig my heels in further!
I'm drawing a blank on what to suggest. He wants to blow something up but that is not an option. You guys have any ideas?

Make some biodiesel with veg oil, drano and methanol. If you can't get MeOH maybe you can use EtOH. Easy and fun. Show the separation of glycerine and biodiesel in final product. Put a wick in it and make a lamp.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
