Doug,

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.

Phil

The boys have an incredible tolerance for alcohol, so don't try to drink them under the table.

Wow, I will take the win, even if it is by disallowance (sorry Greg).   I usually never get even close.  Does anyone know if the boys have any problem with drinking Irish beer and Irish Whiskey?   If they do, maybe I have found my designated drivers for St Patties Day weekend.  I'll bring the boys with me to Las Vegas next week.

Subject: [TN] NTC Element Quiz Question Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Element Quiz Question Answer:

The Question:
This element is one of the REEs. You refine one million pounds of the Earth's crust to yield 2.5 pounds of this element. It is alloyed with vanadium to form spring steel. It is magnetic at very low temperatures.
What element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Erbium (Er)! Erbium has an interesting naming history.
After Erbium's discovery, it was confused with the element "terbia" for over 50 years. In 1877 the chemistry profession decided to settle the matter - and they got it wrong. For years erbium was incorrectly called terbium and vise versa. Erbium oxide is pink and is used to make colored glass.

The winner of the weekly element quiz is Phil Bavaro, L-3 Communications and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.  Greg Munie would have been the winner but he provided a incorrect first submission so EQQAB had to disallow his correct but second response. The boys caught a early cargo flight out of Cedar Rapids and are heading to Phil's facility. There will be no EQQ next week as the boys will be attending the APEX show and networking with their TechNet friends.

The EQQAB has submitted Doug's response of "coldium, Brr" for clarification to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) who is the organization responsible for approving the element names/symbols. Since the IUPAC has never used a three letter element, EQQAB does not believe the clarification will go in Doug's favor. Its also well known that the International Tribunal of Naming Stuff and IUPAC relationship is very contentious (some huge dispute about which is better, Diet Coke or Diet Mt. Dew).


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
