Buggs said he wants to be hot-tub dyed with picric acid,
so he can become a blonde bombshell.

PS DonO got some picric dyed hare, rabbit (*sniff*), and mole from
Iain, and it is really cool stuff. The H&R guard-hairs take on an orange
hue
and the belly hair gets a beautiful bright yellow. The mole comes out
with a real 'earthy' tone.

I have never heard of picric before. tell me more about this picric died
fur... what is picric (some type of acid ?) and why is it good ?
Picric acid is 2,4,6-tri-nitrophenol. As with other highly nitrated
products, it is an explosive. However, it's also a BRILLIANT yellow with
a slight orange tint and makes a great dye. In the early years of its
discovery (1700's, that's what it was used for. Widipedia says its first
use as an explosive was in the mid-1800's. Probably when some clumsy
chemist dropped a bottle of it and it went boom!
Chemistry lesson over. Now you can go back to your regular programming.
