They Blinded Me With...Science

They may not have staples in their stomachs, but these monthly pictorials might have you wishing that there were more than 12 months in a year. Meet January's lovely Absinthe: mysterious, intoxicating, barely legal, and February's naughty Anthrax, who can only be described as dangerous and intimidating. Or perhaps you prefer spicy Myrrh, December's offering - exotic, refined, desirable. safe for work
It's not really on the same track, but this reminded me of the Molecules with Silly or Unusual Names page.

okay, where's the absinthe molecule? is it under its scientific name, or something? :)

I'd like to take one of these home and feed it til it pops.

"The traditional method of 'presentation' (drinking) involves charging a perforated 'absinthe spoon' with a sugar cube and placing it over an 'absinthe glass' which greatly resembes a modern parfait ice cream glass. The glass has a line around it demarking the proper amount of absinthe it should contain so that when full, the glass will hold the proper 5 parts of water fo 1 part absinthe -- almost no one ever drinks this liqueur neat, save for a few show-offs."
I am proud to be a show off. Never dilute your liquors, kids. Just because it tastes like windex don't mean it don't love you just the same.

Try upstairs at the chemists...

Whoa, DEET's molecular structure even looks scary!
Cool link, iconomy!
