Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question
The Question:
This element is highly radioactive and has been called "uranium's
daughter". This element does exist in nature but due to its very short
half life is very rare. This element was associated with the Manhattan
Project and the 1970s Soviet moon rovers. This element is the only alpha
emitting byproduct material available, as a Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Exempt Quantity, which may be held without a radioactive material license. What
element is being described?
The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for
the week.

- It appears that Clumpy and Kloumpios brought the rain with them after
we've had several weeks of dry and hot weather. I've been keeping them busy
all week with some Orcad layout work with a brief excursion to take my two
year old daughter to Mini Professors to learn about friction whilst
constructing a hover craft out of an old CD, balloon and the top of a
washing up liquid bottle. I caught them trying to violate the second law of
thermodynamics but managed to stop them in time before they could give
Louise bad ideas.
Week 69 Mordechai Kirshenbaum
- but I don't want the brothers to travel so far away (they already had
been in Israel several months ago)...so they get the week off!
Week 70 Doug Pauls, Rockwell Collins
- The boys will be glad to be home and see the wives and family for a long
weekend. They can help me with an 86000 lines of data statistical
analysis, but then they get the weekend off.
Week 71 Eray Canli, ANDAR Electromechanical Systems
- Boys can leave as soon as we finish forging three Damascus steel knives
together, from a Vanadium doped leaf spring of an old truck...and in
addition to their knives, I'll buy them cold beer for their effort and
sweat!
Week 72 ????
- assisted with ????
I hope everyone has a awesome week!
