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.

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!
