The second most-viewed article in Derek Lowe's "Things I Won't Work With" blog, about Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, or "CL-20" for short. It's not THE most dangerous chemical he's written about, but it's in the top ten. He said "Synthesizing polynitro compounds is no chocolate fondue party, either: if you picture a bunch of guys wheeling around drums of fuming nitric acid while singing the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore, you’re not that far off the mark."

Irval Firestar, I’m a farrier/blacksmith. I like beating steel with my big hammer while this is playing.

BRAVO ! BIG THANKS FROM THE BIG PLEASURE ! WITH A LOT OF LOVE FROM BULGARIA - SOFIA

[@briang530]

I've been fortunate enough in my life to see the Hungarian state opera do IL travatore and Verdi's requiem. Apart from being some of the cheapest tickets I've ever seen, I'd recommend it for two more reasons. 1. They're amazingly good. 2. Budapest might be the only place I've ever been where everyone regardless of income showed up in the best closed that they had and just supported the music.
Bonus reason 3. As a tourist I'd had other plans beforehand, but booked tickets to the state opera doing Requiem on the day of the dead. I arrived at my hotel 29 minutes before start. The hotel, taxi drivers, police, and even the state opera house staff, made sure that I missed nothing... who says that Budapest doesn't like tourists,?

Peter Rabbit: I don't know. But it sounds very dramatic and life-changing.

@GadBoDag You're spot on Gad

[@Volundur9567]

So this is where all the little Austrian anvils went.

[@GadBoDag]

They probably deliberately staggered the anvil impacts a little bit to give it more of a "crowded workshop" feel.

[@ilcylic]

Ah yes. I always did like the earlier stuff from Neubauten best.

I always thought the lyrics were something patriotic and propaganda-y about hard work. It turns out they're just about a girl.

[@christosvoskresye]

Well? So is Katyusha. The best reason for patriotism is always concrete and particular, rather than airy and abstract.

[@SimuLord]

This music, when I hear it, makes me think of Socialist Realist art if Stalin had a taste for opera and LSD in equal measure.

[@spurrit]

That’s pretty much what I think of, while slaving at the anvil.
