anyone who crossposts from here to alt.flame deserves to be burnt at
the
stake.

Geeez - Don't tell me *you've* gone all religious on us too.

One doesn't have to be Cardinal Lin Dores to be in favour of a good
burning, you know.

"Let the punishment fit the crime", as someone (possibly Glenallan) once
said, or possibly sang.

How appropriate - a spoof version of Mikado hits the theatre in 3 weeks,
under my direction!
The strange humming noise is G&S spinning rapidly.

Shads of Tom Leherer ---

The tune is that of The Major-General's Song from Gilbert & Sullivan's The
Pirates Of Penzance.]

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold, protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
There's strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.

Isn't that interesting?
I knew you would.
I hope you're all taking notes, because there's going to be a short
quiz next period...

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discovered.

And now, may I have the next slide please? ...carried away there.
[This always reminds me of Flanders & Swann's First and Second Law of
Thermodynamics - a physics teacher once played both to our class.]
