Tell us what you REALLY think about the PERIODIC TABLE.

[undeterred]

I like the colors.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. It's elemental!

I remember in a grad school Inorganic chem class we had to memorize it for a test.....so long ago (and more unpronounceable elements added since then!)

[undeterred]

3. Yeah theres a couple rows that weren't on there when I went to college!

[cloudbase]

18. Back in the days when we had nine planets.

And used slide rules.

[Yavin4]

23. And we walked to school backwards, up hill, in the snow, with no shoes on

And we liked it.

[Paulie]

2. It's a gas

Solid!

[HeiressofBickworth]

4. I prefer it sung

by Tom Lehrer.

[csziggy]

26. Yes!

[kentauros]

5. Did you say the BEERIODIC TABLE?

[jmowreader]

13. That beeriodic table is SO fucked up it's unbelievable

Seeing as how the Periodic Table of the Elements puts the lightest elements toward the top, shouldn't the top two rows be all American beers? Like, Milwaukee's Best Light should be where Guinness is, Budweiser where Samuel Adams is and so forth?

Putting Guinness in the "lightest of them all" slot is as wrong as you can get.

[kentauros]

14. They probably did it by "popularity"

I guess if they wanted the heaviest stout in that spot, then Sheaf Stout should have gone there. Unless there's another stout that pours like undiluted molasses

[progressoid]

17. Thats what happens when you design something when you're drunk.

Not that I've ever done that.

[kentauros]

32. Then it's the perfect item to design when drunk

[TrogL]

6. The periodic table of composers

Done by a friend of mine.

7. You can buy it!

[AsahinaKimi]

8. Its quite nice

Periodically ...

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

9. It was the only part of junior high science class that I liked!

I even tried to collect all the elements at one time. I must have raised a few eyebrows when I asked people where I could get some uranium and plutonium

[lastlib]

21. when I was in fourth grade

I wrote a letter to the Atomic Energy Commission asking for samples of some of those higher elements for my science class. They wrote back to me, but didn't give me any samples--go figure.........

hey, I was a dumb kid then (probably not much brighter today, but that's another, um, matter......)

[agracie]

10. Once you've gone through "the change", ...

ya don't need no stinkin' periodic table.

[sakabatou]

11. Great for lame chemistry jokes

What's a cat made out of?
Iron, lithium and neon (FeLiNe).

[Sherman A1]

12. Nice

And I support the laws of gravity as well.

[caraher]

15. Here's the one where I work

Details of what went into this...

[progressoid]

20. The University of Norther Iowa has a variation of that.

[Gorp]

16. It needs two new boxes - one for SPAM and one for Velveeta.

[progressoid]

19. As long as we get to see cool videos about it...

[KamaAina]

22. Bazinga!

[Yavin4]

24. Reminds me of Breaking Bad

The title sequence at least.

[Duer 157099]

25. Love the colors in that one

Here's a good funny one, posted on DU a bit ago, even if I don't exactly agree with it.

[Scruffy Rumbler]

27. Extra credit question on midterm 10 grade chemistry test....

List elements that composed our teacher's last name..

Sodium
Polonium
Lithium
Tantalium
Nitrogen
Oxygen

[undeterred]

28. Some Med School professor actually asked how to make a hormone....

Its supposed to be a double entendre... but does not go over so well with young professional women.

[Scruffy Rumbler]

34. That is like a 4th grade joke, not Med School level! That and what is the

difference between a vitamin and a hormone?

And I bet it did not go over well!

[RILib]

29. the periodic table table

[Generic Brad]

30. It's a poser table

I prefer tables that are tables all the time, not just periodically.

[hibbing]

31. It's got a good beat and you can dance to it n/t

[kentauros]

33. I only need one, and for my kitchen:

The Periodic Table of Dessert

[CharlieVicker]

35. While I like the classics, I'm going with the Periodic Table of Irrational Nonsense
