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. |

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.) |

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. |

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. - |

//Well don't you have a nice, pure element, po? Podium...// |

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