I have a metallurgical problem. The iron in my blood has turned to lead in my butt. Is there a scientific correction for this? Thank you.

Everybody's fussing over this. They should have asked me first. It's just the birth parents coming back for a visit.

NYT is covering up because Harry Reid funneled $22 million to his rich buddy. Probably why Podesta was touting UFOs.

Same here.

Thinking about hiding the TV remote from myself.

They continue to say stuff like this, even after the periodic table continues to expand. What about unobtanium!?

"Probably why Podesta was touting UFOs."

Podesta touted UFOs so he'd have a way of explaining missing children.

I was thinking the same thing, 2 elements were recently added. I guess it’s like the 1900 patent office head thinking the department should be shut down, because nothing more was to be invented.

As a physical chemist, I would agree that the likelihood of unidentifiable alloys is vanishingly small.

OTOH, I would not be at all surprised that there are plenteous useful allotropes of common materials that we've yet to identify and characterize.

Consider the common element, Carbon: engineers are just beginning to explore the usefulness of newly-discovered allotropes like buckminsterfullerene and graphene -- as well as higher-order microstructures such as nanotubules, etc...

I'd say we're just beginning to explore the riches of materials science!

$22M over five years is peanuts; and nothing, to someone like Bigelow.

Show me some transparent aluminum and I’ll believe it.
