Yeah, wikipedia does that to me, too ... :) More fun is when I start 
looking up foul-smelling compounds, Butyric acid is always a classic. 
Thiols of course ... always fun. Then there's Isonitrile ... never 
experienced this one first-hand, but looking it up, it's the stuff of 
legend.

Guess how I found that one... (hint, look it up on wikipedia...)
