Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question

Hi folks - here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer (I have been on a 
whirlwind of business travel thus the absence of the Quiz):

The Question:

This element has a half life of approximately 24,100 years. This element

has decreased electrical resistivity as the metal is warmed up. This 
element is one of the most toxic materials known - in terms of radiation

and chemically. Inhalation of 100 mg of fine element dust will cause
death 
in a few days. There is no commercial market for this element. What 
element is this?


Bonus Question: Name the Roman mythology connection of this element.


The winner of this week's quiz will get to put Clumpy to work for a
week.

So far Clumpy has:

Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings

Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc.
