        I liked the comment about getting a "radioactive rear" from sitting on the bench.

          How wierd is it, that I know what As is without looking?

            Not weird. I knew it.

                I had a feeling you'd like that one.

                  My sister was shocked, because no one had picked As when they had to do a project on an element in grade 11. You'd expect it to be one of the first to go. More popular ones? Au, Ag, He, boring stuff like that.

                    Why "speak" about the elements when you can SING about them:

                      Yup, way boring.

                      I'd go for things like Kr, Ne, or Ds, Rg, or Uub just for difficulty of pronunciation.

                        You know Sheldon, that's about the only song other than his cold war ones which is actually dated. We had a discussion about this after I had my dad play his "remains of" collection for my husband. Who had never heard of Tom Leher. (Criminal, I know).

                          I spent all day yesterday on The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel on Youtube.

                          So, I'm now a big fan.

                          I had heard some of these songs growing up but never knew who was the writer/singer. Love them!
                          Make a list of important things to do today.
                          At the top of your list, put 'eat chocolate'
                          Now, you'll get at least one thing done today
