It was cause for some jocularity in the chemistry department when I was an undergraduate, and Chemical and Engineering News (the weekly put out by the American Chemical Society) had a note about it. I've let my ACS membership lapse, so I'm not going to bother to look it up. I don't expect you to look for the citation -- I don't care if you believe me or not.
