You're just antiantimony.

[seawolf17]

That would make us mony. In fact, we're so mony we don't even know it.

When I come along people say "Mony Mony". Then they shoot 'em, turn around, come on Mony.

Oz never did give nothin' to the Sn man, that he didn't, didn't already have.

Your what?! Snnnnnnnnnnn roof! ....rusted.

Edgy makes me laugh.

That picture totally makes Fred Schneider look like the guy from What Not to Wear.

Cadmium is a soft, bluish-white metal and is easily cut with a knife. It is similar in many respects to zinc. Interestingly, a characteristic cadmium "scream" is heard on bending a cadmium bar.
Cadmium and its compounds are highly toxic. Silver solder, which contains cadmium, should be handled with care.

HI-HO AG!!!!

Didn't MOFo poster Piazza4Prez drive an Agado?

We're falling behind here (one of the by-products of starting so early):

Tuesday was PD day



Palladium is a steel-white metal, does not tarnish in air, and is the least dense and lowest melting of the platinum group metals. When annealed, it is soft and ductile. Cold working increases its strength and hardness. It is used in some watch springs.

At room temperatures the metal has the unusual property of absorbing up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen. Hydrogen readily diffuses through heated palladium and this provides a means of purifying the gas.






and Wednesday belongs to RH



Rhodium metal is silvery white. Rhodium has a higher melting point and lower density than platinum. It has a high reflectance and is hard and durable. Upon heating it turns to the oxide when red and at higher temperatures turns back to the element. It is a major component of industrial catalytic systems such as the BP-Monsanto process

Ru
Thursday marked 44 days, and the day belonged to Ruthenium.

]Ruthenium (IPA: /ruːˈθiːniəm/) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ru and atomic number 44. A rare transition metal of the platinum group, ruthenium is found associated with platinum ores and used as a catalyst in some platinum alloys.

43 = TC

Technetium sounds like one of those synthetic elements at the top end of the table that really only exist in labs and for fractions of a second ... but, actually, it's a radioactive byproduct of uranium decay.

Technetium is a silvery-grey metal that tarnishes slowly in moist air. Until 1960, technetium was available only in small amounts. The chemistry of technetium is related to that of rhenium.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yet another soft grey metal. Interestingly, the above photo contains the symbol and the atomic number

i wonder how many other players that might work for...

Nb

The name niobium was adopted officially by IUPAC in 1950, but a few commercial producers still like to refer to it as columbium. Niobium is a shiny, white, soft, and ductile metal, and takes on a bluish tinge when exposed to air at room temperatures for a long time. The metal starts to oxidize in air at high temperatures, and when handled hot must be done so under a protective atmosphere so as to minimize oxide production.

ZR

The pride of home shopping network jewelry;
Zirconium is a greyish-white lustrous metal. The finely divided metal can ignite spontaneously in air, especially at elevated temperatures. The solid metal is much more difficult to ignite.

[Frayed Knot]

Y


Yttrium has a silvery-metallic lustre. Yttrium turnings ignite in air. Yttrium is found in most rare-earth minerals. Moon rocks contain yttrium and yttrium is used as a "phosphor" to produce the red colour in television screens.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

If Abbott and Costello were nerds, they could have done a comedy bit about yttrium.

Lou: What's the abbreviation of the element yttrium?
Bud: Y.
Lou (flustered): I'M JUST ASKING!
