You're a good guy, Frank.  I can use them both to help me prepare for Christmas.  I'm so far behind it's not even funny!

Leland,

Take 'em both, I have to travel next week and the boys can be a pain when by themselves (like getting into mischief) Thanks, FNK

Subject: [EXT] [TN] Element Quiz Answer



Here is the Element Quiz Question:



The Question:

This element is fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust.  This element  is very abundant is space since its produced by fusion in high-mass stars and scattered into space by the violent collapse of supernovas.The human body contains 3-4 grams of this element which is critical for our health. This element was known to the Egyptians in 3000 BC. This element will not form an amalgam with mercury.  Which element is being described?



The Answer:

The element is Iron (Fe)! The origin of iron's name is from the Anglo-Saxon word "iren" and the Periodic Table symbol from the Latin word "ferrum".

Beads made from meteoric iron in 3500 BC or earlier were found in Gerzah, Egypt. The beads contain 7.5% nickel, which is a signature of meteoric origin since iron found in the Earth's crust generally has only minuscule nickel impurities. Iron is a necessary trace element found in nearly all living organisms. Iron-containing enzymes and proteins, often containing heme prosthetic groups, participate in many biological oxidations and in transport.  Unlike many other metals, iron does not form amalgams with mercury. As a result, mercury is traded in standardized 76 pound flasks (34

kg) made of iron.





The winners of the quiz are Leland Woodall and Frank Kimmey - they will split the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. Their responses hit the firewall clock at exactly the same time! Larry Dzaugis's response gets honorable mention as he caught his error and had wise wisdom about the combination of aluminum airplanes compatibility with mercury. David Bealer's life experience gave him the right answer which I found to be cool thing.



As for Doug's response of "Vacuumium", EQAB unfortunately had to disqualify his answer again. EQAB completely believed Doug's biology rationale but the Ames-Rock Valley information was not correct. Hillman had the privilege of having several of his Iowa State University professors actually having worked on the Manhattan project and several past "privileged" conversations clearly show that Vacuumium was not part of the effort. Additional, Hillman has several friends living in Rock Valley and they have assured EQAB no implosion incident ever occurred there.





So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 43 Joyce Koo

- Great, the two chaps can help me to wrap my head around the newly discovered planet by NASA that not only earth like, but also just 11 light years away (like live just under our nose)... http://www.planetary.

may be prepare search the alien under the sea?  (avoid competition of

search alien above the sea, like "expedition unknown" TV show).   - dave

you might not get them back if both get lost in the darkness ;-).



Week 44 Russell Kido, Practical Components

- How good are they in basketball?  Maybe they can help my 8-year old daughter in her practice and her game.  We will be having some warm temperatures next week, in the 80F range so they can pack light.  They can assist me in visiting customers, might have to take them to the beach or Disneyland, finalize projects for year-end and keep my colleagues in line.  Can I send them to my factory to assist in long lead-time delays on our products? (They can play the good guy, bad guy)



Week 45 Leland Woodall

- assisted with ????



Week 45 Frank Kimmey, VeriFone Inc

- assisted with ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week.
