This made me very happy. I used to do this when I was little.

I especially like, "A Chemical that Smells Suspiciously Strongly of Oranges"

The amusing thing that the wiki had to say about Limonene was that it smelled strongly of oranges in spite of being named after lemons... I'm still afraid of what the chemical compound actually is, and made sure not to look too closely.
