Boys wil be boys (2)

 A few years back, Paul May wrote delightful little book on molecules with silly or unusual names. Although some of his findings are quite adolescent  (Sodium Ethyl Xantate) or far-fetched (Austin for Aspergillus ustus + in  which is the first name of the main character in the A. Powers movies ), the book provides its readers in a humourous way with important knowledge on the nomenclature of different classes of molecules (organic substances, minerals and biochemicals). The first chapter is freely available here.
