I agree that there is many forums that talk of explosives but iv never seen any "obsessed" with them.

yeah, the person who made this thread went a bit over the top!

 

chemists are interested in explosives, its the fun side of their work. :)

I agree with 5614. While you're doing (or going to do) something for your work (or just for a hobby), and have access to necessary chemicals, only a few can resist the temptation of making explosives or such. :) And with good safety precautions, the risk is minimal with most explosives (if I ever make TNT, I think electric ignition from VERY far away is the only option for me :) ).
