My information is the he was killed in a battle;
Marcus Licinius Crassus (Latin: M*LICINIVS*P*F*P*N*CRASSVS[1]) (ca. 115 BC - 53 BC) was a Roman general and politician who commanded the left wing of Sulla's army at the Battle of the Colline Gate, suppressed the slave revolt led by Spartacus and entered into the political alliance known as the First Triumvirate, with Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Gaius Julius Caesar. He allegedly owned more than 200,000,000 sestertii at the height of his fortune. One of the richest men of the era and still ranked in the top 10 List of most wealthy historical figures, Crassus still desired recognition for military victories in the shape of a triumph. This desire for a triumph led him into Syria, where he was defeated and killed in the Roman defeat at Carrhae which was fought with the Parthian Spahbod Surena.

Gold
Crass means dense, in English this is generally is the sense of stupid, but is Latin, crassus means heavy or fat, hence the French gras meaning fat. Supposedly, the Roman Marcus Licinius Crassus .
was killed by having molten gold poured down his throat.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Question
Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]>
Hi folks! Here is the Friday Element Quiz. There won't be a quiz next week
due to the IPC Midwest Conference in Chicago.
The Question:
This element occurs as a native metal in the Earth's crust. The annual production of this element is small - the total quantity of this element produced in 2000 would fit into a cube just 5 meters on a side. The largest single chunk of this element was 90 kg found in Australia in 1872.
This element is the most ductile metal as 1 kg of it can be rolled into a sheet only 10 nm thick with an area of 5000 square meters (i.e. the size of a football field).
Bonus points: The origin of the word "crass" is related to this element.
Name the person associated with the element/word origin.
The winner of this week's quiz will have Clumpy assist them for a week.
So far Clumpy has:
Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings
- accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee)
Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM
- conducted REACH material testing
Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc.
- Solderability testing and mowing the lawn
Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich
- had an epic journey of travel
Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global
- ???? Gary owes us a description
Week 5 Fredrick Miller, Astrolab
- ???? Fredrick owes us a description
Week 6 David Nelson, Raytheon
- ???? David owes us a description
Good Luck
