is it true that mustard gas was so named because it smells like mustard the condiment? i don't know much about the gas, but i know how very easy it is to make.

Learn some info on another way of making mustard gas on the Computer/Tweaking & modding boards courtesy of Capt'n Midnight. Apparently if you burn a chemical called Fluorinert it produces mustard gas.

Err... ok whatever you're into. I was actually thinking more along the lines of Jessica Biel, Rachel Blanchard and Ashlee Simpson (Mary, Roxanne and Cecelia)

Actually there is a connection between Motorhead and Mustard! Motorhead's drummer Phil 'Philthy' Taylor and Mustard's bassist Chris Glen worked together in a band called GMT in the mid 80's, so there!
