Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question

Here is the Element Quiz Question:

The Question:
This element was the last non-radioactive, non-synthesized, naturally
occurring element with stable isotopes to be discovered. An alloy, with
this element as one of its primary constituents, was used for the liquid
rocket thruster nozzles on the main engine of the Apollo Lunar
Modules. Compounds, which incorporate this element, are employed in gate
insulators in the 45 nm generation of integrated circuits by a number of
component fabricators. This element is pyrophoric—fine particles can
spontaneously combust when exposed to air.  Which element is being
described?

The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for
the first part of the week.

Week 40 Leland Woodall
- This week the boys will be helping me with Fall yard work.  If they
finish in time, we'll also check out the speckled sea trout run currently
going on in Belhaven, NC.

Week 41 Tom Carroll
- Clumpy and Kloumpios can help with winter cleaning chores around the
house. We just received our first blast of cold air today and it is
expected to be colder tomorrow, so tell the boys to pack their winter
suits. I need help removing air conditioners from windows and sealing up
some drafts around windows and doors. After that the boys can relax and
join me on a trip to Philadelphia to perform some FAA Conformities next
week. Do they like soft pretzels? The ones I get in Philadelphia are great,
especially when they are fresh out of the oven.

I hope everyone has a awesome week and a wonderfully Thanksgiving holiday.
