I've come to the conclusion that they put crack cocaine in that rice...   It's way better than any other rice I've ever tasted...

And I'd eat it,, even though I don't like rice...

I think that's what I'm leaning towards now. My mouse is like 10 years old and a piece of junk so I might get a new one along with a nice mouse pad

Have you ever used Sugru? It is awesome. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MIRQUE (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MIRQUE). http://sugru.com (http://sugru.com) shows some really interesting examples of how to us it!

* I am not in anyway affiliated with the product, it just appeals to the tinkerer in me.

 :p  Yes, of course.  I was just trying to think of the fun things I've used it for.  Which does not include all the more functional uses that it has.  xD

I prefer to make my own metal oxides. The cheapest way is likely to dump a bunch of cheap metal (nails ?) in saltwater and hook it up to a power source.

And as impressive as thermite is, I'd rather spend time making heat lances. They are way cooler and more useful (thermite is used to weld railroad rails together. A heat lance and do that and so much more) it also gets hotter (depending on a number of factors, but the sources i found list a thermal lance heat output to 3000 - 4500 K, far above the boiling point of aluminium commonly used in thermite (A thermite reaction will slow down if it gets hot enough to boil the aluminium off, and cool until the aluminium is in the thermal phase again.)
