Joe Varo reports, on Pynchon-l at [1] regarding Cyclopropane, "At first I thought that this was just something the TP made up. But just for the hell of it I looked it up and found that it is an explosive with anaesthetic properties, or vice versa."

Wikipedia entry

Quoting page 184, Varo also asks, " 'From then on, whenever a dynamite blast went off, even far away out of earshot, something concurrent was triggered somewhere in Lew's consciousness...after awhile even if one was only about [italics in original] to go off. Anywhere.' Am I missing something or reading too much into it? Or does this make cyclomite akin to another pynchonian compound?"

Is Cyclomite somehow related to Imipolex G?
