Robert Bonomi:
Would you believe "Carbon tetra-chloride"?
It _does_ extinguish fires. But the gas it givesoff is rather
dangerous.

Oleg Lego:
Folks who made hats used to use 'carbon-tet', and it affected their
brains. Hence the phrase "Mad as a hatter".

Nope. That was mercury, not carbon tet.

Correct. CCl4 gives you liver cancer IIRC.
