Actually, I'm thinking about methane, Croesus, and the Delphic priestesses. Try this: http://www.hallucinogens.com/delphi/ Jan 15 06, 10:31 PM

The "high"-drocarbon was actually ethylene or ethene but your site says that Frankie so yay. The trouble is, I'm now more curious about where you were "Coming" from with that first stab, peasy! Jan 16 06, 8:11 PM

What invention made L. Nobel a rich man? A poet wrote, "A dart thrice dipt in that rich flame, Which writes thy spouse's radiant name." Who was the poet, and what work of art is thought to have helped inspire these lines? How rich is the Royal family? Who needed the most zeros to express his wealth? I assume this would be a rich man in a country with severe hyperinflation.
