EX or IM it all does massive damage. The half fractional elements seem to be quite dangerous.

Ha! A half fractional element that does not cause an EXplosion. Interesting.

Subject: Re: [TN] Element Quiz Question
My esteemed colleague is referring to another of the half fractional elements, Vacuumium 3.5 (Vm3.5). This unique element has a property that induces incredible amounts of actual vacuum. Vacuumium is produced by fusion of Helium with Lithium and huge amounts are generated in a supernova generating huge2 amounts of actual vacuum. That’s why there is so much vacuum in space. As Dave points out, we all have small amounts of Vacuumium in us and where it induces vacuum in the body is highly variable. For politicians, newscasters, and many social media users, it concentrates the vacuum between the ears. Fortunately, scientists and engineers seem to be relatively immune from the effects (although there is one metallurgist…).
Vacuumium is refined from granite-based ores (e.g. Zinnwaldite or lepidolite), similar to lithium. The Egyptians were aware of this element in 3000 BC, though they referred to it as Nauadah. The material was fairly well document in the Stargate SG-1 documentary. Vacuumium was used to suck out the innards of Egyptian Pharaohs as part of the mummification process.
Vacuumium was first isolated Dr. Phyllis Herkelmann working at Ames Lab – Rock Valley, part of the Manhattan project in the 1940s. Much of that work remains heavily classified. Dr. Herkelmann had been working on combining Vacuumium with Mercury, only to find that the two are highly antagonistic.
The resulting vacuum-based implosion consumed Dr. Herkelmann, her lab, all lab documentation, the lab building, a portion of Rock Valley, and 3 nearby bison. Tragic, they were great bison. So, it is not really a case that Vacuumium does not form an amalgam with mercury, it’s that it is really stupid to try.
So Dave, what do I win this week? I am making lefse, krumkakke, and fruit soup this week and could use the boys Scandinavian magic to help.
