Molecules with silly names my fave "Adamantane". (nsfw) Beware comic sans!

I added the nsfw tag since the first thing you see is ass (_._)

Huh....Adamantine is a common element that's used in a lot of Final Fantasy games. I thought that it was made up, but I see they just changed the last A to an I. My fav is Cummingtonite.

True but pointless: adamantane is named because it is difficult to get it to react; it's adamant.

My vote is for clitorin.

Angelic Acid. It sounds like a psychedelic drug, or a weapon in some kind of online game.
