Having only taken high school and one semester of undergrad 100-level chemistry, I know 2 things about Benzene: It's very dangerous stuff, and some guy had a dream about its ring-shaped structure.

Also, I know that what the anglosphere calls "gas", "gasoline" or "petrol", some other European languages call "benzine". Benzene and petrol are both hydrocarbons, but other than that similarity I don't know why that name would be used. I saw somewhere that it is actually "Benz-ine", as in Karl Benz.. but that sounds dubious.
