Hi folks - Here is the Element Quiz Question Answer:

The Question:
This element has been used for thousands of years. It has two oxide 
states. Its chloride compound is used as red pigment in glass and 
ceramics. It is used in plant fungicide to prevent smut. Octopus blood. 
What element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Copper (Cu)! Copper has been known to humans for thousands 
of years and has played a key role in industrial applications. A number of 
sea creatures and insects utilize copper for enabling the transport of 
oxygen in their blood instead of iron utilized in the human circulatory 
system.
 

The winner of the weekly element quiz is Brian Ellis and he will get the 
services of Clumpy and 
Kloumpios for the week. Brian barely nudged out Greg Munie and Joyce Koo 
on the Firewall timestamp for registering the correct response. Clumpy and 
Kloumpios hopped on a cargo flight and are in route to Brian's house 
today. Kloumpios and Clumpy were hard working gnomes last week at APEX and 
apparently hard playing too. Kloumpios ended up in the emergency room for 
leg injuries (I'll have Steve post the pictures). Brian will have to give 
Kloumpios some desk work on this visit.

EQQAB did review Doug's submission of Bondium and unfortunately his answer 
was disallowed. Consultation with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography 
SDSU in San Diego CA revealed that octopus blood contains the copper rich 
protein hemocyanin and not bondium as he stated. The Scripps experts have 
no evidence to supporting that octopus blood contains bondium.

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 44 Eddie Hofer, Rockwell Collins
- I think I'll have them practice a little baseball & hockey with my son 
this week so I don't have to put on the skates or baseball glove.

Week 45 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- Rumor has it Leland's facility had an ice storm so the boys put their 
salt spreader attachments on their tractors and should 
be at his place today to assist.

Week 46 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory 
- assisted with ????

Week 47 Phil Bavaro, L-3 Communications
-  Grumpy seems to be able to hold his alcohol very well, but I cannot say 

the same for Clumpy (or is it the other way around?).  Personally I think 
it had to do with one of them enjoying a good traditional meal (photo on 
its way thru Steve) before drinking.  Then again maybe it was just the 
Irish whiskey that got to him.  Either way they both seemed to like San 
Diego a little too much so I am going to make them help me research NWOs 
this week before we all leave for APEX.

Week 48 Brian Ellis
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week.
