    Iron is a metal -- you see it every day.  Oxygen eventually will make it rust away.  Carbon in its ordinary form is coal.  Crush it together and diamonds are born.

    Neon's a gas that lights up the sign for a pizza place.  The coins that you pay with are copper, nickel, and zinc.  Silicon and oxygen make concrete, bricks and glass.  Now add some gold and silver for some pizza place class.

    I remain annoyed that Seaborgium is Seaborgium and not Alvarezium.
