My esteemed colleague is referring to another of the half fractional
elements – Godzillium Gz- 65.5. As Dave indicates, the oxide of which is a
bright green.  The element was first named by Japanese researchers after
the first wave of attacks by Godzilla in 1954.  Though it was not apparent
until films were colorized, Godzilla’s green breath and greenish hue were
due to high levels of Gz, brought about by nuclear reactions from early
nuclear detonations.  Gz2BO3 is often used as a doping agent for very high
speed electronics that has the benefit of protecting the circuit from EMP
blasts.  I could say more, but it’s classified.  Gz is usually very rare
but is sometimes found in yttrium orthophosphate ore, sometimes called
Xenotime ore.  Gz was first isolated from samples from the first Godzilla
devastation of Toyko in 1954 by Dr. Hirasu Mitutokoni, University of Japan
at Hitachinaka.  It was the first opportunity to find Gz in appreciable
sample sizes.  Dr. Mitutonkoni was able to synthesize a Gz-detector, which
unfortunately worked too well.  He was able to detect approaching Gz
presence, which he followed, making him the first person to be squashed in
the second Godzilla attack.  Truly tragic.  His remains, which glowed
bright green, were buried at sea.



So Dave, what do I win in this grand New Year?
