What, you mean like Hexabromocyclododecane (which is actually a
sixteen-legged dinosaur - you don't hear about them much as they were
clumsy things, managing little more than eating and farting; but they
were actually really useful as their bulk and nature meant that were
excellent at stopping forest fires, they'd just lean against a tree and
act as a giant lumbersome flame retardant...).
Best wishes,
Rick.
