This list of Molecules with Silly or Unusual Names (one NSFW image) proves that scientists can be funny.

Thats really interesting Clive.

I did Chemistry at A level, its one of my regrets that I never did it at degree level.

I remember doing a project on Buckminster Fullerene and have also come across Moronic Acid, Lucifer yellow, Periodic Acid, Nonanone and a few others as well.
