You can't make this stuff up! -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Douglas Pauls Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 8:05 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question I want you all to notice that it is always Hillman that pitches the first grenade. Now I feel motivated to explain / expose the dirty secrets Dave is hiding. The Collins clock Dave refers to is an old Mickey Mouse windup clock from decades ago with a picture of Art Collins laminated to the tummy. Sits right over his computer. He has a candle on top of it and that is his "firewall". The only time the "firewall" becomes a stamp of any kind is when Dave, using the classic neanderthal two finger hunt and peck typing, bangs so hard on the keyboard that it knocks the candle off, stamping a wide area in hot wax. Kinda fun to hear the sudden yell though. Doug Pauls "David D.

Sorry, I had to pick a "clock" when we first started this fun and I selected the Collins clock for no specific reason. There will be a new quiz this week so you'll have another shot at getting the guys for assistance. Wait a second, I think I'll blame Doug - yes, it is his fault that we are using the Collins clock!

This element was produced by bombarding a target of Lead-207 and Lead-208 with Chromium-54. This element was also produced by bombarding Californium-249 with Oxygen-18.
