For Random Information “Molecules with Silly Names Arsole Bastardane Munchnones Unununium Cummingtonite Vaginatin Urospermal Dinile Fornacite Clitorin Constipatic Acid Penguinone Dogcollarane Apatite Carnallite” 3:52:24 PM 9/04/03 “Scientists are dorks” 3:56:26 PM 9/04/03 “Okay - is everyone ignoring? :)” 4:00:16 PM 9/04/03 “Cummingtonite That is the name of my band!” 4:00:57 PM 9/04/03 “Cummingtonite This mineral must have the silliest name of them all. Its official name is magnesium iron silicate hydroxide, and it has the formula (Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2. It got its name from the locality where it was first found, Cummington, Massachusetts, USA.” 4:03:07 PM 9/04/03 4:04:45 PM 9/04/03 “Not only that, but cummingtonite is part of a chemical series of minerals; the cummingtonite-grunerite series. They have perfect cleavage {110} as well!” 4:09:20 PM 9/04/03 “Dand chili, you scooped me!” 4:09:50 PM 9/04/03 “er, dang!” 4:10:07 PM 9/04/03 “Don't forget fuchsite, a chrome-rich muscovite.” 4:12:30 PM 9/04/03 “And... Gayluussite, a nitrate.” 4:14:44 PM 9/04/03 “Yay! Other people to play with!” 4:19:30 PM 9/04/03 “OK, Albite!” 4:23:41 PM 9/04/03 “Crapinon Crapinon (also known as Sanzen) is another molecule with an excellent name, and is apparently used therapeutically as an anticholinergic. These are drugs which dry secretions, increase heart rate, and decrease lung constriction. More importantly, they also constipate quite strongly - so 'crappy-non' is most appropriate. It would be nice to think that this molecule could find an alternative use as a toilet cleaner (as in "Who's been crapinon the seat?"). Thanks to Gavin Shear of Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., Toronto, and Tom Simpson of the Royal Hobart Hospital, Austalia for providing the info on this molecule.” 4:24:55 PM 9/04/03 “Well, I have to say Bytownite (a plagioclase feldspar) and head over for a frosty Millerite (NiS).” 4:31:09 PM 9/04/03
