Hi folks - here is the Quiz! Since Clumpy and Kloumpios are adhering to
their good social distancing practices and are spending this week being
isolated so we are going to have a slight twist to the Quiz. You are
allowed to use any resource you want to answer the following questions.
First person to get the question correct is our winner:

The Question: List the elements that derive their names from Greek, Roman
or Norse Mythology.

The Answer: There are 7 elements that derive their names from Greek, Roman
or Norse Mythology:

1. Niobium = named after Niobe, who was the daughter of Tantalus (Greek
Mythology).

2. Promethium =  named after Prometheus, the Greek god who gave fire to
mankind.

3.Thorium =  named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

4. Tantalum =  named after Tantalus (Greek mythology).

5. Mercury = named after Mercury (Roman mythology).

6. Titanium = named after the Titans (Greek mythology).

7. Vanadium = named after Vanadis, also known as Freya in Norse mythology
(goddess of beauty).


The winner of the quiz is Robert Bowden and  he will get the virtual services
of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week.

Clumpy & Kloumpios  are pretty miffed at Doug since he did not include
Vanadium in his answer. I suspect that they will be giving Doug Norse
Mythology lessons shortly.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 114 Ravinder Ajmani, Western Digital

- I think the timing is just right for me.  I have been locked in the house
for over 4 weeks, and the yard is a total mess.  I could surely use the
services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for this. Because of my age I don't want
to venture out.  While we are having our groceries delivered through
Instacart, we need experts to get us some specialty Indian groceries.  My
belief is that Clumpy and Kloumpios have inherent immunity to Coronavirus,
so they will be ideal to carry out this task.


Week 114 Graham Naisbitt, Gen3

- A virtual, though shared, assistant is just what I need right now!
Allowing a day off on Sunday, means that I can have the boys for 2 days and
help me virtually complete my garden restoration project. This takes
“social distancing” to an entirely new level! The weather here has been
spectacular these past few weeks, wall-to-wall clear blue sky with no
contrails. It's 24ºC today and for the rest of the week. Linda and I have
been in lockdown isolation since 17th March, so their help will be
appreciated whilst avoiding isolation themselves. I’ll try to set-up a Zoom
meeting with them.

I hope everyone is staying safe and  has an awesome week!
