New Oh - then WTF is boron named for?
Aha -- "[link|http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0808388.html|New Gr. from borax]".

And, "...first isolated in England in 1807 by Sir Humphry Davy...", yadda yadda; no, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with Niels.

Looks like I larnt sumpin today, too.

Thanks!

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
