AQUA REGIA: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

Our discussion of the Nobel Prize medals led us to aqua regia, a
solution used by Jewish recipients to dissolve their medals and hide
the gold from the Nazis during WWII.  I doubt any of our readers would
attempt this, but just in case Fred Holabird warns us: "This is very
serious - do NOT make this acid at home.  It is exceptionally dangerous
- your life is at stake."
