Remember memorizing the periodic table in high school? Well, forget it. Some information on the table is about to be reset.

The world's top chemists and physicists have determined that the atomic weights of 10 elements - ones you've actually heard of - need to be expressed as an interval (or range) rather than a static number, Science Daily reports

Bad enough the world map keeps changing, now the periodic table does, reminds me of the Pluto planetary fight.

Funny Wayne - nice play on scientific words. Have you considered putting together a stand-up routine for amateur night at the comedy clubs?

I have to forward this link to my Nephew studying for his PhD in Chemistry at CU, but he never talks to me, dang youngsters.

I hated chemistry though. Had a chemistry set as a teenager and almost burned down the house, hehehe. I am much better with electricity.

Wayne, errr Seasons.. that was funny.

Q. What do you do when you find a dead chemist?
A. Barium.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Maybe stand-up would LEAD to a gig at the PALADIUM, but my puns are so bad I wouldn't want the audience to SULFUR.

Ah, the Wayne orgy continues... you just can't help yourself.

Or are you just talk?

But, if Jesus can forgive you, how can I do anything less?
