I think I've heard of pills like this, before...

Someone did invent a way to do this, too bad he died about 2,012 years ago and took the patents with him.

Nota Bene -- "birthday" and "crucifixition" dates are about 33 years apart, hence the engineering footnote of 1979 vs. 2012 correction.

Just as a heads up to people that don't know, Mothballs aren't made of what they used to be made of.
