Would have been much happier being ignorant on that one. I don't know that we can use Clumpy either. While it is not common knowledge, Clumpy was actually the 8th Dwarf for Walt Disney, but the cost accounting people got into control for a brief period of time and Clumpy ended up on the cutting room floor, making for only 7 Dwarves. And no, I have not had my Diet Dew yet this morning. Going off to remedy that now.......

Hillman Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 9:13 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz The Question Hi folks - Ok, here is the Friday Element Quiz: The Question: This element has been used as a constituent of eye makeup since antiquity. This element was often referred to as a variety of lead (Pb) and was not considered a separate element until the 16th century. As a pure metal, this element has no structural uses but is widely utilized as a strengthening addition in other alloys. This element, in its high purity state, is used in the manufacture of III-V semiconducting compounds. China is the dominant world supplier of this element and world production was 141,000 tons in 2002. What element am I? This week's prize for correctly identifying the quiz answer will be to put Clumpy, the 8th dwarf (Doug identified him this week during the TechNet discussions) to work for you with the caveat that you will be required to tells us what task Clumpy accomplished for you. Sorry, we seemed to have run out of furniture to give away. Good Luck.

Somehow, I think that freezing the northern portion of the Atlantic ocean solid so that Clumpy can amble over to Ian's facility is going to make some folks upset. Perhaps we need to give Clumpy a survival suit, a case of Twinkees, a couple gallons of coffee and a jet ski as an alternative mode of transportation.

I don't know just how much statistical training Clumpy has in his resume but he has been shown to be quite adaptable for a wide range of Technet tasks last year. Clumpy was able to obtain a ride across the Atlantic on Saturday in the cargo hold of a A380 flight so he should show up at your doorstep this morning. Hey Doug - just how much statistical analysis training has Clumpy completed? Heck, did Clumpy ever go to university? We could use a bit of Clumpy's history after Disney dumped him.
