I was wondering, isn’t it curious that one of the four nitrogenous bases that make up the DNA of any organism is named (in Russian translation) “gavnin” (guanine)? There’s something to it 🙂

(Julius Bodo Unger isolated it from bird droppings, which he studied to develop better fertilizer, hence it was named guanine)
