Periodic Table Table Poster Post 93
TheodoreGray writes to mention his
Artsy Periodic Table Poster. Others here have discovered his Periodic Table Table and his sodium-in-the-lake party. He concludes, "And if I post about posters again, I could be a Periodic Periodic Table Table Poster Poster."

As long as I'm posting, I'm reminded of the article I read recently about how some public school was so poorly funded that their periodic table was from 1996 and didn't have the very newest element! Whatever the financial situation in the school, I found it at least as alarming that "activists" thought that was seriously holding back high school chemistry education, let alone that a reporter and editor (WSJ, no less, IIRC) agreed with them.

Serious note, in 6th grade we were all supposed to bring in an example of an element. I don't recall what I brought in (probably coal for carbon), but it amazed and shocked me how many people brought in wood. I guess nowadays that wouldn't surprise me.
By the way, my high school was actually pretty good and my chemistry teacher, Mr. Merritt, was an especially good teacher. I learned a lot in 11th grade chemistry.

Something made of nickel, copper or iron, probably.
Now though, I'd just show my wedding ring.
What would other people bring, I wonder?

To be kind, you should also include the disassembly instructions -- "Heat in crucible (sold separately) until molten. Insert suitable electrodes (sold separately) and apply direct current. Collect sodium."

BTW, it just means "ass", not "nice ass". I just put in "nice ass" for the picture comment.

The acronym for this (as shown on streetsigns pointing to the school) is ... cul, which means ass in French (a language commonly spoken in Luxembourg).
Took them several years to notice, and during all this time, the embarrassing street signs remained up. Since then, they've renamed the school, it is now part of Université de Luxembourg.

I wonder if there are any emulators that allow linux and other weird OS's to work in Win.
I saw one where each element had a picture of it's use.
Tungsten, for example, showed a light bulb.
I noticed the profiles of the undiscoved countries, er elements.
Actually they will be created by them.
Somehow the creater of this picture went forward in time, ohh I said too much.
OSQ from the last part, ala James Wood.

Best Example of each Element (Score:1)
"After four years of collecting and photographing samples of all the chemical elements, months of struggling to select the very best example of each one, and further months of working on the best possible printing quality, I am pleased to say that you can now buy a copy of my photographic periodic table poster."
Nice work! But I'm really not sure about elements like Rh, Bh, Sg... Are you sure they are the best examples of each element?
