   The irony I was struck with by reading the above comedy is that a
   person can turn chemical symbols into words and vice versa.

Speaking of which, has anyone ever noticed that the chemical symbols
for elements 17, 18, and 19 (chlorine, argon, and potassium) -
consecutively on the periodic table - spell ClArK (and right below
them is Krypton).

Catcha' later,
Paul.
