Sure, pick your science education equipment supplier. Crystal Labs has a kit for $38, Fisher Scientific has one for $137, PASCO has one for $575 that doesn't require dry ice. Or you could build your own.

Philippines has this beat: multi-party system, no run off.
The last two Presidents were elected by getting about 30% of the vote.
Nicaragua has the same. Which is how they ended up electing Ortega, with just 35% of the votes, after he had already ruined the country once and had openly engaged in corruption in an astronomical scale. Center and right-wing candidates received way more than 50% of the votes, but due to this brilliant system, they end up with the corrupt commie. And now of course they no longer get to choose their president.

What, these are a bog-standard winter toy here. Nobody thinks of them as especially dangerous.
For the thread, I nominate as always, Project Pluto. Thank the gods for the timely invention of ICBMs.

Illinois Tollway (when paying cash). At least it gives enough warning when it's coming up, but even when starting in the far right lane I need to cross at least two lanes of merging traffic then of course the only open 'cash' lane is on the far right of 6 tollbooth lanes (not counting the 4 main 'easy pass' lanes on the interstate I got off of), so I'm crossing like 8 lanes in the span of 0.1 miles.
Any warehouse without flat floors....everywhere. I won't post the video here because of forum rules, but a forklift in some place in Asia is traveling through a doorway, and while I can't see what exactly the problem is because what's on the other side of the doorway is blocked from camera view, it doesn't take long to figure out.
Now, they must have done this before because they knew the rear end of the forklift will go airborne since the male driver was allowing a woman to ride on the back end of the forklift trying to use her (130 pound?) weight to help keep this 10,000+ pound machine from flipping over. Needless to say the back end still goes 7 feet in the air. As the rear end was rising up, along comes another woman who grabs the tailgate of the forklift hoping her weight will help bring this beast down. Needless to say after dangling in the air for a couple seconds before slipping and falling...that's when the forklift comes down to earth.... right on top of her.
I remember the Jarts mentioned earlier. Don't remember if my parents bought them new or (more likely) from a rummage sale. Had something happened, could the sellers at the rummage sale be sued? (although obviously the manufacturers likely had deeper pockets than a typical home owner)

Growing up things were a little looser. We could mail order chemicals. All it required was a adult signature on the order form 
potassium nitrate, potassium clorate, magnesium dust, zinc dust and loads of other materials that would make your local terrorist drool.
I'm thrilled to have all my fingers still.

Trying to land the thing was a little bit....tricky..
Not to mention, had it gone into service most opponents it might have faced would probably had jet fighters.....
