Reminded of one of the more popular things I tweeted back in the day.

Oh hello… a patent for “Preparation of High Nitrogen Compound and Materials Therefrom”

https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/61/1f/6b/d69947d2172dc0/US7119179.pdf

For non-chemists, this is the kind of high-energy chemistry that should lead to an intervention, and probably the invocation of Section 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983. Just thinking too hard about this compound may cause it and your thoughts to explode.

And now to remind @cstross @foone and @funranium of this

@digitalraven @cstross @foone @funranium [Silently screams in knowledge of chemistry]
@Illuminatus @digitalraven @cstross @foone @funranium Somebody woke up one morning and chose valance.
