OK. So let me get this straight:

- "Gold potassium cyanide" isn't present, despite being one of the few 
compounds of Gold to exist, and its prolific use in jewlery.

- If you look up "hannelore", it tells you about a minor character in a 
web comic.

Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?
