Mar. 19th, 2009 09:48 amI was awake at six this morning, and when I went to the loo (TMI) I picked up one of the books I keep there, and started reading - as you do - the list of Periodic Tables. I'm in there - Ruthenium (atomic number 44) is an element! Giggles.
Then I read that there were (was it 7 or 8?) elements awaiting naming. I decided on these. May I have your thoughts on what they should be named - after which fandom, so to speak?
We'll say there are eight, ok? For evenness.
First Tolkien. Um, Tolkenuim, Frodomium, Merrybdium, Pipponium, Samwiseum, Bilbobidum, Sauronium, Gandalfium.
Elijah Jordan Wood = Elijanium, Jordanium, Woodonium.
Dominic Bernard Patrick Luke Monaghan = Dominuim Bernardium Patricium, Luconium, Monaghium.
Horbart Drizzle = (what??) Hobartium, Drizzelium.
Yeah, so I'm nuts? What's new? Any ideas, folks, for the naming of the 7? Casey? Zeke? Jensen? Whomever? Roll up, and leave your selection. There's bound to be more discovered, are there not?
PS - It was seven - I checked!
http://www.periodictable.com/ I found this, in case you're interested. If not, kindly leave the stage. :D

Date: 2009-03-21 11:10 am (UTC)Yes, those are Dom's names. He chose Luke as his baptismal name. He told the priest it was because he admired St Luke so much, when actually his inspiration was Luke Skywalker ! :D xxx

How cool that an element is named after you.
And...someone needs to give that kitty another cookie, stat!

Give the kitty a cookie someone, please - before he essplodes!! :D xxx

Date: 2009-03-19 05:59 pm (UTC)Not being a scientist I had no idea there were so many nor that there were some still unnamed!
I favour the obvious, I'm afraid - Tolkenium, Frodomium, Elijanium, Woodomium, Hobartium, Merrybdium and Pipponium.
Sorry to be so predictable!

Date: 2009-03-20 02:36 pm (UTC)Ok! I'm looking at using 138 which is a deeper color of turquoise then what you see in this photo. They are some of my favorite beads that I have at the moment! Just lovely.
I can use 136 which is Chinese jade. Or 109 which is lapis and would look nice with the turquoise. Both a Egyptian stones (lapis and turquoise)
If I use the Chinese Jade, then I would add 135 as the third contrasting stones.
If I use the lapis, then I will go with 140 which is also much deeper in color. It's called red brick jasper. Looking at Egyptian art you can see that these three colors (turquoise, lapis blue & red brick) were prominent in their jewelry.
I also might throw in some Malachite which will help tie in the pendant's colors more thoroughly.

Let me know if you want the Jade or the lapis, then I'll get started.
Hope this wasn't too confusing!
