Alter des Gases

"Ahem, Momma's evil little genius needs a diaper!"

--Sheldon J. Plankton, "Goo Goo Gas" (opening quote)

"[The] vapour settled to the ground like a swamp mist and drifted toward the French trenches on a brisk wind. Its effect on the French was a violent nausea and faintness, followed by an utter collapse. It is believed that the Germans, who charged in behind the vapour, met no resistance at all, the French at their front being virtually paralyzed."

--The use of gas at Langemarck, as reported in the New York Tribune (ending quote)

Altar des Gases is a chapter in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. In this chapter, Ms. Frizzle's students become teenagers, thanks to the age-changing gas that came out from gas grenades, and it turned out it was done by the Maus Freikorps.

In the Kaiserliche Mausen Palace, Prince Ernst I, the 4-year-old son of Werner Werman said that the test on an age-changing gas is a success.

Trivia
