Compound Interest

It's not big and it's not clever, but the knowledge that somewhere in academia land there exists a scientific paper with the glorious title "Studies on the Chemistry of the Arsoles" has left me grinning like a Cheshire Cat all day.

Arsole is, of course, the arsenic equivalent of pyrrole; a chemical compound with the formula C4H5As. It is not remotely funny and those of you stifling a fit of giggles should go to the back of the class and face the wall!

More fantastically named chemical compounds, such as Adamantane, Cummingtonite, and Moronic Acid can be found at Paul May's site.
