Teams of scientists work diligently to synthesize compounds that, when represented by their chemical symbols, spell out the name of the customer. (The really, really, rich and self-obsessed customer.) No knowledge of chemistry is necessary; the customer simply needs to pick out the letters from a catalog.
For
example, a lady by the name of Steph wants to embody herself in a chemical, so she decides on the formula STePh. Millions of dollars and six months later, the research group presents her with a small vial containing a sulfur covalently bound to both a phenyl group and a tellurium atom.
CuITaUFOUR, on the other hand, is some mixture of copper, iodine, tantalum, uranium, fluorine, oxygen, and an alkyl group.

When I am *extremely* rich, I want someone to find a new element and abbreviate it to Ng. Until then, I'll need to follow the number plate method and modify LiMg. |
|

Yes, but if he'd had his done when he was 1 year old, he'd be rich by now. |

According to [tom]'s periodic table I'd be made up of 2 parts 'titanium', 1 part 'molybdenum' and 1 part 'hello'. Sounds about right... |
|
| |
Regardless of which Table you choose to use, it seems that jutta, and I , and even [jhomrighaus] are simply left out of the party for the lack of J-elements. Some days that seems very appropriate. |
|
| |
you could possibly hijack Yttrium, little gems that you are... |
|
| |
(please note that she said "little gems that you are" without so much as a :) or other smiley faced icon. If I didn't know her better I'd be sure to feel slighted. Fortunately, I know the high esteem with which she holds me. Too bad about you others.) |

So how would you come up with one for Quest? I didn't see any starting with a Q. |
|
| |
Well don't you have a nice, pure element, po? Podium... |
|
| |
well, at least it's not an attempt to reinvent German |
|
| |
A shady Russian company already did this for a Mr Litvinenko. The results were not good. |
|
| |
I question the validity of a Periodic Table that lists H2O as an element... |
|
| |
It also has Xm (Christmas) and Hi (Hello) listed. Is that meant as some sort of joke? |
|
| |
Let's see... yeah, this is definitely a joke periodic table. It also has Beef, Goo, and Lavender. |
|
| |
The clue is the in the URL. 'Look Around You' is a spoof of 1970s UK science education programs. |

<fades into memory of the tv trolley being rolled into the classroom on a Tuesday morning, the lights being dimmed for the broadcast, the teacher blissfully unaware of 20 or so children with pieces of well chewed sloppy paper on the end of their rulers ready for the latest splat-battle to commence> |
|
| |
See, you don't even have to be rich, just conveniently named... |
|
| |
We were still watching those 70s edu-films in the late 80s when the TV-remote-control-watch had been invented. Oh how those teachers were baffled by ghostly rewinding of tapes! |
|

- I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Cd - Custard. - |

Of course this is Polonium on a real periodic table. |
