Doug,
Have you ever tried your hand at writing mythology?
I say you win, even if you're wrong.

Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Question
Ahh, my esteemed colleague is referring to the half fractional element
Lunarium, which is a fascinating element. It was not isolated as a pure
half-fractional element until moon rocks were brought back for analysis from
the Apollo moon landings. Lunarium actually emits light, but does so in a
periodic fashion, oddly oscilating back and forth between its light emitting
phase and its dark phase. Dr. Heathcote Kleinwasserschmidt, of Southern
North Dakota University - West, has determined that the light-dark cycle is
28 days, and this is really the reason why we see the lunar phases. When it
is a full moon, all of the Lunarium is in the light emitting phase. For a
new moon, all in the dark part of the cycle.
Sadly, Lunarium is very susceptible to oxygen, and Lunarium oxide (LuO14)
does not have the light emitting properties. Some deposits of LuO14 have
been found in Africa, suggesting Lunarium existed there at one time, but now
is all oxide. It may be that this is why Africa is referred to as the Dark
Continent. No Lunarium. The scientific community is keeping this kind of
information very low key for fear the US Congress will find out, classify
Lunarium as a Conflict Mineral, and by extention, outlaw light.
On a positive note, the frequency of light emitted by Lunarium destroys the
DNA sequence of certain cancerous cells. It has long been observed that
there is a certain linkage between the women and moon cycles, which is why
Lunarium treatment of ovarian cancer in an estrogen rich environment is so
very effective. The treatment does not appear to be effective for prostate
cancer in a testosterone-enhanced environment. But there is hope in this
area. I believe that Dave's son Kai Hillman is working on methods of
converting LuO14 back to pure Lunarium, and using hops-enhanced barley
derivatives to overcome the testosterone inhibitions.
The waiting list to be part of Kai's research rivals the waiting list for
Packer season tickets.
For the magnesium castings, it only takes a little bit of the LuO14 to
improve the quality of the casting. The emission properties, outlined
above, is what makes magesium castings much "lighter" than aluminum and also
explains why magnesium castings burn so much brighter than other metals.
Trace amounts of Lu.
Ohhhhh, I can't wait to hear how I get disqualified this time, especially
since I bring the younger (future) Dr. Hillman into it.

Hi folks - Hope everyone had a relaxing holidays. Clumpy and Kloumpios now
have new John Deere tractors and are ready to go!
Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:
The Question:
This element plays no biological role that humans have identified. A
radioactive isotope of this element has been used in the treatment of
ovarian cancer. This element improves magnesium castings. The moon rocks
contain a relatively high percentage of this element. What element is being
described?
The winner(s) of the weekly element quiz will get the services of Clumpy and
Kloumpios for the week..
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
