This is for Paulo who has some strange idea that homoatoms exist. Heteroatoms exist. There are homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts,

It is the Periodic Table of Rejected Elements. It contains elements like "apsragus" and "celinedion" and is well worth five - count them - five :):):):) - smiley faces

er ... Strangely amusing.

Thanks

What the hell, homo-atoms, and their creators, have rights, too! And the rest of you protestors, blow off, too....

The start of the thread is a bit out of my english range,

but maybe Kristoff is right here. So to all protestors: a good blow can finish a lot of problems between people

I never thought about translating the Periodic Table of Rejected Elements into another language. It's really tough to translate parody.

1) yes, apsragus be asparagus. It's a green element that has a smelly effect for days.

2) The two men at The Atlantic Magazine created a spoof of the Periodic Table. Like naming elements Halcion (or halcyon) and Celine Dion (a singer) and Chlorox (a laundry bleach) and Genovesium (after an organized crime family - Genovese), or Linoleum (which we paved kitchens with in the 1950's)...

Asparagus is the name of a plant(green) and vegetable, and it is or was the name of a kiddy porn website, as a professional horticulturist I should know

Don't worry, I finished both "jobs" long year ago, that's why I'm not sure about the "or"

But you did make a good joke. There's a whole column of elements that combine only with themselves.

It's just that this is a heartwarming, care bears, my little pony, Shrek, Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes type of joke suitable for giggles for the entire family joke.

No tacoatoms? :O

No tacoatoms? :O

only if it combines with the chipotle particle in its quantum state...
