Polaroid film is made of crystals of herapathite. How was herapathite discovered? "Herapathite crystals were first prepared when an assistant to the toxicologist Herapath mixed iodine with the urine of a quinine-fed dog."

@drskyskull Herapath sounds like the name of one of the archangels from Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens".
