On the plus side, one of his inventions killed Thomas Midgley Jr., arguably the most environmentally destructive chemical engineer in history

Name me another chemical engineer that could be argued did more harm. I don't think all of Monsanto with agent orange and Roundup has done more than the TEL and CFC fuckup.

Where's he buried? How long is the line to piss on his headstone?
