[Taxacom] Palcohol?

[Michael A. Ivie]

OK, something that might not be as interesting as debates about lizard 
descriptions, broken legs on misidentified specimens or 
painbiogeography, but could be important to those flying to collecting 
sites. Does anyone know anything about the newly FDA approved power 
"Palcohol?"  It can be mixed with water to obtain ethanol.  I strongly 
suspect this was an April Fool's joke, but cannot debunk it. The 
Guardian ran a story, so I am tending to believe it may be true?

This could be a great thing is formulated specifically for scientific 
collecting?  Someone out there must be out front on this?
