Name an element not found in the periodic table
I'll start:

Jumbonium: Each atom of this element is large enough to be easily visible to the naked eye, with marble-sized nucleons and electrons.

Handwavium: Handwavium (as distinct from Unobtainium) is a substance used to violate the laws of physics or otherwise conveniently fill a plot hole without requiring effort on the part of the author. See "handwaving." Unobtainium, by contrast, is a substance that could (but is not known to) theoretically exist, or is impossible to obtain.

2. This is what I put on that other element forum.
Todd

Element Todd is a free spirit who does not like to be pigeon-holed by atomic numbers or chemical descriptions. Todd just is.

3. Superimposium
Superimposim has the ability to morph into other elements of the period table and assume their nuclear, electromagnetic, and radioactive qualities. Superimposium is extremely rare and can currently ONLY be found in a locked desk drawer of Karl Rove.

6. Progressivum
An element that in its purer forms will sometimes have negative reactions with similar elements or even repel them outright, but under the corrent circumstances--such as in the presence of heavy regressivum or theocratium--will form chains with the more similar elements and thus restore balance to the natural order.

10. BinLadenium-- impossible to find; constantly morphing into "Husseinium."
Actually, this is a misnomer. There are no similarities between Blm and Hsm, but they are frequently confused by Republicans.

14. An astute observation, Anarch.
It's unfortunate the effects seem to be irreversible for many.

15. Suburbium, esp. the Sprawlium isotope
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 02:12 PM by Deep13
This homogeneous, egocentric element has an atomic number of 1, believing itself the only element in existence it reacts only with other Suburbium atoms, especially the purified "white" variety. Its expansive nature causes it to expand to fill all open areas. It is magnetically repelled by Negrotium, though is strangely fascinated by it.
