This molecule is called snoutane. In trying to track down the source of the name, I did a Google search. The Google was not much help, wondering as it did if I wanted to do a related search "what is a cassock?" for surely I had mistyped "soutane."It's rare that my two lives intersect quite this sharply.
UPDATE: There is so little out there on snoutane that this blog post showed up 1 minute (!) later on the second page of the Google search.

All physical organic chemists love polycyclic hydrocarbons. Still my favorite is bullvalene.
See, this just looks like a Chinese-food carryout; You know the white box they put the rice in.
I am with Allison, there are much more beautiful molecules to be studying ;') and I am disappointed that you came up on the second page and not the first
I was thinking it looked like a very useful basket. Maybe to carry wood in? Or perhaps to take something freshly baked to Grandma's house?
Allison and Cindy...there are basketanes! and Wayne, now it's on the first page :)
