Dave,
Thanks! Sorry for getting back to you late. The "Boys" and I went to Las Vegas to polish up on their comedy act. I told them that "what happens in 
Las Vegas, Stays in Las Vegas". I think they took me literally.  I got a note from a Dancer that they left contact information in the secret safe where Doug keeps the key to his Mountain Dew stash. Their previous time spent with Graham paid off as they also took my American Express card. I hope they get back safe.
Dewey

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element gives off a blue flame with clouds of its yellow oxide when heated in air. This element is added to cosmetics to provide "shine" to lipstick and eye shadow. This element was known in ancient times. The German word "wismut". What element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Bismuth (Bi)! Bismuth is the 70th most abundant element on the Earth. Bismuth is a strange element: 1) it expands when changing from its liquid state to its solid state; (2) it has higher electrical resistivity as a solid than as a liquid. A large amount of bismuth is generated as a by-product of smelting lead, silver and copper ores. 
Bismuth is used to make Pepto-Bismol and other drugs for intestinal aliments. The name bismuth is derived from the German "bismu" or "wismu" 
meaning white.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Dewey Whittaker, Honeywell, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys were last seen trucking down Interstate
80 heading for Dewey's facility. They plan on assisting Dewey for a few days and then get back to Iowa for short Thanksgiving holiday break (no FEQ this week due to the holiday here in the US).

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
