I appeal to FEQAB:

a) I gave you the right answer to the element on 28 January, long before 
you asked the question
b) I know you must have consulted my ancient website at 
http://www.cypenv.info/worldee/files/hydrogen/hydrogen_myths.aspx to 
know the true story about the Hindenburg disaster.

Despite rumours, recent research showed that Alf Landon, FDR's opponent 
for the Presidency in 1936, did not send a hit man up the mooring mast 
with a box of matches. This conspiracy theory was sparked (pun intended) 
by one of the bodies on the ground having been burnt to a cinder. In any 
case, the draught from the propellers would have blown out the match. 
Consult the above link for the facts.
