Yay! That was like the first post today where you spelt everything right. I think.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 19:47:58

Yay. It won't last long.

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 19:49:51

But it is...that was your second 'correct' post!

insomnia · 2005-10-13 19:51:33

When I type something long, my correct postiness will be dismantled.

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 19:53:36

Okay. Type short posts and all will be fine. If you want to write something long, put it in separate posts. That might work.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 19:55:35

True. But I have to test the loyalty of my new hands. I'm also fully awake now, so I shouldn't have any problems.

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 19:57:15

You should go to the second hand shop. Lame joke, but I had to put it in somewhere.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 19:58:43

It made me smile. I have to go do washing up and work. I will be back later, hopefully.

Oh no, I won't. I have to go into town and get new brake pads for my bike. At the moment I have no back brakes!!

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 20:00:35

I have to go too. I have homework to do. But at least tomorrow it's the weekend.

Hope you find some brakes...don't want you skidding down the road - that could be a good wink murder story.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 20:03:47

My story!! have fun with the homework and don't ask me to help unless it's science. That's my best subject.

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 20:07:04

It's an RE project. Fun. And I've got a Middle Ages assignment. And a flute exam (I've already had my sax one). And theory homework. And some project about forests. And a chinese vocab test. I think that's all.

Maybe you could get your time machine and lend it to me, so I could go back in time to the Middle Ages.

Oh yeah, I do have some science homework, but I don't really think you could help - it's to know the periodic table. Back to front. And also know some basic formulas. Not that hard.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 20:37:39

Sorry, my time machine got repossesd for missed payments on it. i will build you one. But it will take a year or two.

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 20:39:36

Insomnia, I think you made that post too long. And thank you for building me one, but I think my project is due before then.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 20:41:04

I know. Repossesed is a long word. I thought the project might be due before then, but you could use to hand the project in before the deadline!

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 20:42:24

That is good. Do you have any tips for memorising the periodic table (since science is your favourite subject). I know more than the first 20.

insomnia · 2005-10-13 20:43:38

I don't know the names in order, but I know most of the symbols and their names.

Eg. Pb = Lead
Potassium=K

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-13 20:49:12

Yes. I know those ones. Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Borealium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium. I think I messed up somewhere. Oh well. That's what I'm up to.

insomnia · 2005-10-14 00:35:18

How deadly interesting. Sorry, I made a mistake. Let me correct:

How deadly boring

mathsyperson · 2005-10-14 03:43:53

Tungsten = W. And you got Beryllium wrong. And it should be spelt 'sulphur'.

Anyway, I found a spoof periodic table thingy and also the element song.

Sorry for the accompanying animation, it was the only place that I could find the song.

MathsIsFun · 2005-10-14 10:43:17

The element song is just brilliant. Love the Flash work.

Now, a casual link to the BBC site (without your mention of spoof) could seriously undermine someone's education !

Arrghh! About Beryllium...that is one bad spelling mistake on my behalf! I think you can spell sulphur: sulfur or sulphur. One's the American version.

I liked the links. Now, if only I could learn the song...I would be singing away in my test!

Tiger · 2005-10-14 18:32:50

you've gotta solve that one yourself!

mathsyperson · 2005-10-14 21:19:22

I didn't say you got sulphur wrong though, I just said that it should be spelt differently. It was a complaint to all the americans who change spellings of things just because they can't understand the concept of silent letters, not to you.

And also, Americans, one billion is not 10^9. [/rant]

justlookingforthemoment · 2005-10-14 23:28:30

So is anyone here from America?

insomnia · 2005-10-16 18:45:34

Nope. But most people know that.
