After thinking about it and getting a headache, I retract my answer, Niobium, because someone beat me to it and because I do not want to be involved in the lawsuits against the FEQAB that are sure to come out of this. There are at least four different answers that are all truthful to the clue.
The most likely is Niobium, named after Niobus, the bus that takes you down to the Nile Theater in south Minneapolis.
But just as good is Tantalum, named after Tantalus who was the father of Niobus.
Or it could be Columbium, Tantalus' wife and the mother of Niobus who apparently was quite tantalizing and was built with a Ford frame.
However, I caution all of you not to delve too deeply into research of this Greek tragedy, as it will surely lead to Sypilys while studying Lesbos.
Stay away from this one.

- the guys helped me out tremendously this week performing program verification's, Cpk studies, and policy updates. But I did send them back to the coast to fish a bit, and they showed back up on Wednesday with a full cooler. A few of their beers were in there that they'd forgot to remove, but hey, it's summer!
