    I doubt it. We all know you are too smart to drink sulfuric acid. Sulfur is often associated with the underworld. Sulfur is the brimstone in preacher's fire and brimstone sermons warning of hell. It reeks to high heaven of rotten eggs in its most common compounds which are emitted by the metric tons during volcanic eruptions. Depending on the composition of the magma, an eruption often emits more gas than lava. Most of this is in the form of SO4 and H2S2. A key indicator that a dormant volcano is about to wake up is SO4 emissions. The Taal volcano in the Philippines erupting in 2020. This highly active volcano constantly emits SO4. A surge in these emissions is a sure indicator it is up to shenanigans.

    Willie Pete is really neat, Just drop it on the tangos. It won't take long till they're all gone, Leaving nothing but ashes and bone. Remember kids: it's not a war crime the first time.

    Semiconductors depend on a doping agent in silicon to act reliably in circuits. The doping agent and silicon create a lattice structure with an extra electron (n-type), or a hole for an electron (p-type). The diode, the first semiconductor device, will only allow current to flow in one direction. Discovered by Russell Ohl at Bell Labs in 1939, the diode was just the first semiconductor device. It was soon followed by transistors and their numerous variations.

    Me either. Never have I ever taken an Alaskan cruise.

    Aluminum is another element that does not exist on earth in a pure elemental form. It comes from a mineral called Bauxite. Aluminum is processed from Bauxite into an industrially useful form by an energy intensive two-stage process. Discovered by Hans Christian Orstead in 1825, it was another sixty years before it became available in industrial quantities.

    Magnesium Is a low density light metal that is often used in alloys where strength and light-weight are necessary. It has broad applications in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industry. A persistent mystery regarding magnesium is why does it appear in nodules on the deep ocean floor? Magnesium Nodules

    Sodium in its mushy metal phase is usually stored in an oily liquid to keep it from reacting to air.

    No. However, as kids, we would take a bath in a diluted Clorox (bleach) solution after being exposed to poison ivy. It seemed to work. Never have I ever done/sung a solo.* ________________ * - disclaimer: karaoke after tequila doesn't count.

    Not one of my favorite elements. Fluorine is nasty and not easily handled. It is very corrosive and quite reactive. Compounds of Fluorine were experimented with as explosives, but they proved to be too unstable for military or commercial applications and were hard on chemical labs and researchers. It was one of the first poison gases Germany experimented with in WWI. It was not very effective because it was too light and dissipated too quickly. They quickly moved on to Chlorine, Phosphine, and eventually Mustard Gas.

    Crap. Another side-quest.

    Oxygen is so reactive, chemists have given the process a special name: oxidation. Earth is a terrible place for a laboratory to understand the universe. The majority of the universe exists as a vacuum without gravity nor does it possess an oxidizing atmosphere. We humans are only now beginning to grasp how ignorant we actually are.

    No, but I've banged a keyboardist or two. Good with their hands, those lads. Never have I ever done the nasty with a drummer.
