Periodic Table Table Poster Post

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."

Ooo..

"And if I post about posters again, I could be a Periodic Periodic Table Table Poster Poster."

Ooo.. ooo.. please! Go on! I'm on the edge of my seat here!

(On a side note, HTML really needs a sarcasm tag.)

Sodium metal

[rbarreira]

Looks like his server has just been blasted by the /. element.

Four years to make a poster

...and I think it is now safe to say that you can read more about him here [wikipedia.org].

Holy slashvertising batman!

[QuantumFTL]

Check out the new formula, folks:

• Step 1: Create product made for /.ers
• Step 2: Use Slashdot's Slashvertisement Submission Form
• Step 3: Get server completely slashdotted before ten posts.
• Step 4: /.ers are annoyed at you and never buy any of your stuff.
• Step 5: ???
• Step 6: At least you are not as bad as Roland.

Now that we've got Pluto kicked off the list of planets, we can work on getting Cesium kicked off the periodic table.

First element: unobtanium

[192939495969798999]

Looks like Unobtanium is all I get when I try to view that table... hey, maybe I should just post my digital artwork as a story too -- at least my server can (supposedly) handle some hits!

Why Cesium? Let's get rid of mercury. I mean, first of all, it's supposed to be a metal, but it's LIQUID at room temperature. It thinks it's so cool, 'cause it's rebelling against its "solid" parents. Secondly, it poisons people. Oh yeah, real nice. Sure, lead can poison us, too, but only if we consume it. If someone tried to consume parts of me I'd poison them, too, but Mercury can just be in the area. Have you touch it. I think it's time to get rid of Hg once and for all, and replace it with something more useful. Like Chocolate. No one ever complains about liquid chocolate, after all.

Note to purchaser:

"Some disassembly required."

More than two pounds...

[ClayJar]

Actually, the atomic weight of chlorine is 35.4527, and the atomic weight of sodium is 22.989768. That being the case, you'll have to ship just over 2.54 pounds of salt in order to ship a pound of sodium.

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."

Oh, you mean like this? What a clever observation!

Perhaps <blink> could have a use after all!

That's nothing, at my high school in North Carolina in the early 80's our periodic table contained only Earth, Water, Air and Fire. They didn't even have the update for Ether.

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.
