Sir, I must wholeheartedly and vigorously protest. AS I clearly stated, the element was isolated back in 1892. Just because some ignorant pharmaceutical company in India comes along and hi-jacks the name does not, repeat not, make my answer any less valid. I may just sue Centaur. I shall go out this weekend, market a new drug that is a mixture of selenium, nitrogen, and astatine and call it Potassium. And then sue every chemical lab in existant for infringement. I may send a few free samples to S.White and see what happens...... Doug Pauls From: "David D.

The ratio of two of this element's isotopes has been used to trace the origins of skeletons. This element in its liquid state is a pale blue color and has magnetic properties. What is the element is being described? The Answer: The element is Oxygen (O)! Oxygen was used to assist premature babies breath until it was discovered that it sometimes resulted in blindness. The ratio of oxygen-18 to oxygen-16 in the world's oceans has varied slightly over geologic time, oxygen breathing life forms consume oxygen-16 at a slightly greater rate and the closer a person lives to the Equator the more oxygen-18 can be found in their dental enamel. Using these facts, it is possible, in some cases, to determine the region a person was originally from. A number of skeletal remains found in England have been shown to be people from the southern part of the Roman Empire. The winner of the weekly element quiz is James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys grabbed a cargo flight from Cyprus and are on their way to his facility. The Friday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB) has also disqualified the submission from Doug Pauls. Doug had stated that Bonium was the element in question. However, FEQAB research shows that Bonium is actually a real drug comprised of calcium citrate and vitamin D3 used in the treatment of low blood calcium levels. Since Bonium is comprised of calcium, it can't very well be the half fractional element between calcium and potassium. As a side note, what are the chances that Doug would create a half fractional element name where a real product exists - time to buy a lottery ticket. As CEO S. White stated "he was soooo close this time". So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following: Past Quiz winners/tasks: Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited Week 3 Pat Goodyear, PGE Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security Week 6 Steve Gregory - assisted with packing for Steve's next cross country move. Week 7 Phil Kinner, PVA - assisted with booth duty at a French tradeshow and then helped get an Easter egg hunt ready for 20 kids Week 8 Brian Ellis - the guys arrived this morning, thanks. This is the end of the most prolific part of the growing season and weeds abound. The John Deeres will be very useful to help eliminate them. Kloumpios has said he will prepare a traditional Cypriot ttavas (lamb pieces with veggies with cumin and wild herbs, slow oven-cooked in a special unglazed clay pot - Google it) for the 1 April Cyprus National Day. Week 9 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited - assisted with ???? Everyone have a safe week!
