Excellent!

Ironically I'm on a low sodium diet...  maybe that is why I'm attuned to it.

The boys can help me get ready for our upcoming ISO audit, I know they are experts on that.

Here is the Element Quiz Question:

The Question:
This element is the 6th most abundant of Earth element but is never found
in its pure form due to its reactivity. This element has thousands of
commercial uses - you have two of this element's compounds in your kitchen
right now. This element derives its name from an Egyptian word. Mercury's
atmosphere contains a fair amount of this element. This element is
essential for human life. Which element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Sodium (Na). Sodium is found in many commercial
applications: salt (sodium chloride) and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate )
are in your kitchen! Sodium derives its name from the Egyptian word
"natron". Sodium has been detected in Mercury's atmosphere and the
Hale-Bopp comet was found to have sodium present in its tail plume. Sodium
is an essential mineral that regulates blood volume, blood pressure,
osmotic equilibrium and pH.


The winner of the quiz is Graham Collins, Sunsel Systems and he will get
the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.  Several other responses
were very close to beating Graham on submitting the correct element.


EQAB reviewed Doug's submission of "Thursdium" but his response was deemed
incorrect. EQAB could not find any record of a Glux crater in connection
with a Grinnell University. The Grinnell College in Grinnell Iowa was
contacted but they have no "Glux crater" on campus. The makers of Old Bay
Seasoning, McCormick and Company, were also contacted on the inclusion of
"Thursdium" as an ingredient and they reported no such ingredient is
included in the product.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
