Reference to homemade pycric acid

"The most common route is through aspirin, since this is the most widely available of the three." Is this sentence correct? It makes me think that it was written by someone referring to homemade pycric acid, I do not have the exact figures, but seems hard to believe to me that aspirin is easier to get than phenol or bencene, which have hundreds of industrial applications, and are, by the way, precursors of aspirin. This sounds like a reference to home prepararion of pycric. --Paiconos 16:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Placement of a Sentence

Should not the sentence "Picric acid was one of the agents in the Halifax explosion." be under History, as opposed to under Uses, where it currently is?
