Abundance of Elements

"This is just a basic display of the abundance of elements in the known universe, the Earth, the Earth’s crust, the ocean, the atmosphere, and the human body" says jonathanorjack at a visual.ly TOP worthy post with a subheading that starts "Start creating, sharing, and exploring great visual content today." I started thinking what a wonderful subheading that would be for here, to replace the dying Dali quote and then I remember how Tropper might interpret "sharing, and exploring great visual content today."... nttiawwt, not at all.

Whatever Kev... Check out the top worthy visual content I started talking about.

   Abundance of Elements
  
    
As I was going to say , before Trooper jumped in and interrupted, coffee is truly an abundant element known in the universal ocean and atmosphere that is the human anatomy.

Sorry... there goes Trooper butting in again. What a joker that guy is. Let me not talk about him too much, lest I jinx the Sox playing against his Yankees, underway as I type this lousy post, I never quite know how to close.

Just remember that a link to Trooper's blog won't work for people who aren't invited guests, and sometimes links can be used by bad people.

Besides, Sabathia's pitching for the Stanks, and he can barely get his arm around in front of his gut.

Lem...Lem....poor deluded Red Sox Fan Lem. It is only a matter of time until the Sox fold. They always do. They always will.

I seem to remember Nitrogen being most plentiful in the atmosphere, but, for some reason, Oxygen being the most plentiful in the ocean surprises me.

Score Update: Red Sox 2, Yankees nothing. bottom of the first.

Tough crowd.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

It was on purpose.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I agree with the ESPN announcers. The purpose pitch was mangled by the Boston pitcher.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

An abundance of elements in this game. that's for sure.

Oh who cares. A-Rod should be HBP during every at bat from now until he's actually booted from the game.

deborah said...

My son just came in and changed the game to a new Breaking Bad.

It's just a silly hunch on my part, but doesn't Cody sound like Drago? It doesn't matter who he is though, just getting déjà vu all over again when reading his comments (I'm enjoying them BTW, mostly).

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Check the ESPN Baseball site, deb.

C'mon, fatboy...hit Ortiz.

Thx, Lem, but I can't sign in...I have satellite.

Score Update: Red Sox 4, Yanks 3.

...for some reason, Oxygen being the most plentiful in the ocean surprises me.

A assume they are doing the proportions by mass, not by number of atoms. Thus, pure water would be two hydrogen atoms with atomic weights of one each, and one oxygen with an atomic weight of 16. Thus the proportion of oxygen is 16/18, or 88.8%.

Ignorance is Bliss said...

That should be I assume...

chickelit said...

Hydrogen is not only the most abundant element -- it is also the most promiscuous one, combining with practically every other element except the noble gases.

XRay said...

Perhaps then, that goes some way towards explaining our current slut walks. Noble not familiar as a reference.

The noble gases are boring in their perfection. It's a cruel irony that we associate helium with children's balloons and neon with garish commercialism.

rhhardin said...

All the elements except hydrogen and helium and lithium (?) are made in stars, which explode and put them out in space to form new stars and planets.

So you need two generations of stars for you to be around at all.

We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon,
And we got to get ourselves back to Yasgur's farm, man.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Penny is driving Sheldon to work and he wants to play a word game where he names an element, and then Penny names an element that begins with the last letter of Sheldon's element. The idea was to take turns and see who can last the longest.

She doesn't want to play so he plays the game all by himself.

She kicks him out of the car soon afterwards, but that had more to do with his obsessing over her "check engine" light, arguably.

It was just this morning that it occured to me that our universe might be expanding inside some kid's toy that's like a see-through globe or something.

There might be millions of little kids watching their little universes inside their little globes as if they were sea monkeys, or ant farms, or something like that.

I don't claim at all that I'm the first person to ever think of that.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Speaking of entire universes and ant farms, THIS is not going to end well.
