Count As High As You Can...Before "The Man" Stops You. [03]

[Jer-oh-me]

31 is also prime

[Jairus]

32 is one of my favorite numbers. And here's why...

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

[Jer-oh-me]

3 * 11 = 33, we're not to my fave number yet.

[Suwako]

34

[Jer-oh-me]

7 * 5 = 35 dangerously close to my favorite number.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nice months.

And elements, too.

[Jer-oh-me]

Hydrogen, which is the first element.

[Darkdragon]

Helium.

[VSMIT]

Lithium.

[Aisha deCabre]

Beryllium.  And 4 the record, I prefer numbers. x3

[VSMIT]

Boron.

You can prefer all you want, but 5ting it isn't going to go very well.

[Aisha deCabre]

Carbon.

Meh, alright then, six well with me.

[VSMIT]

Nitrogen.

[Jer-oh-me]

Number eight is Oxygen, which turns to a liquid at -182.95 C

[Aisha deCabre]

9 is Flouride, which is what they put small bits of in water around here to help keep teeth clean.

...Er, either that or flourine, I forget which.

[Jer-oh-me]

10 is Neon, a noble gas whose density is 0.8999999999999999999~ which makes it just a little less heavy than water. Fluorine is the element, Fluoride is something else. If they were putting Fluorine in your drinking water, you'd be dead. Fluoride replaces Calcium in your teeth making them more resilient.

[Aisha deCabre]

*facepalm*  Right, sorry, sometimes it's easy to get those mixed.

Anyway, 11 is Sodium.  Which I think actually -is- good for you.

[VSMIT]

12.  Magnesium.  Burns extremely well.

[Jer-oh-me]

And at thirteen we're back to Aluminium, as every other English speaking land calls it. Aluminium has an interesting history. With a density of 2.69 it's heavier than water but much lighter than most of the other metals. Aluminium was long ago worth several times the value of gold per unit of mass, I believe it was something like four times as much. The Washington memorial in Washington DC is capped with a rather large pyramid of Aluminium because it was expensive back then as the means to refine it were still very very very expensive and difficult to do. However as the most plentiful metal on Earth, just it's in an ore for difficult to divorce from its slag components it is still expensive to refine and is therefore still relatively pricey though no longer worth more than gold.

Also for more cool stuff on Aluminium, and the other elements for that matter if you go to the main page: Aluminium

[e_voyager]

silicon which is very important to robotic entities of our age and is number 14

[Jer-oh-me]

Number fifteen is Phosphorus, which is used in matches.

[VSMIT]

16.  Sulfer.

[e_voyager]

chlorine number 17 on the list.

[Jer-oh-me]

18 Argon, and another Noble Gas for me.

[Aisha deCabre]

19 and back to the start of the alkali metals row for Potassium.

[Jer-oh-me]

And now we're on with calcium, at numbah 20. The stuff that's replaced by fluoride in your teeth if you have it in your water! Yay!

[VSMIT]

Scandium.  21.

[Jer-oh-me]

Twenty-two, Titanium! An awesome metal!

[Darkdragon]

Without looking I am going to say "Vanadium" and hope I'm right.

[e_voyager]

chromium 24.
