There is something magical about adding water to stuff to make it explode! Fun! Invigorating! As this video explains, alkali metals are just such a stuff. Rubidium and Cesium are particular amazing.

Unfortunately this all fake. Theodore Grey shows what really happens with each of the alkali metals. See http://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/AlkaliBangs/index.html
