In light of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=46664), I would like to know what would be good things to throw in it. To make this interesting, let’s say we have two containers of concentrated sulfuric acid.

1. 1000 mL flask (very roughly 32 oz)

2. An enormous vat 15’ in diameter and 4’ deep.

3. Hi Opal![sup][1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=42832)[/sup] 😃

So, to start off, I’m thinking an evil nazi groundhog, and a 1977 Orange Gremlin.

Any annoying deceased human bodies lying around that might irritate the police.
