symbioidljI worked in the WARF building(yes, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation mentioned below) That's pretty fucking kickass!
Warfarin
This molecule sounds like it could be a warfare agent, and it is...if you're a rat. It's a rat poison which stops the blood clotting, so the rats bleed to death. It also has medical uses in blood thinning and clot prevention. Apparently it gets its name since WARFarin was the first patentable product of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). An interesting story about warfarin is that it may have been used to kill Stalin.
