Fun with Science!

Here's a cheerful suggestion for those spare minutes; transcribe Tom Lehrer's The Elements without recourse to a periodic table, then use the spell-checker to see how many you got right (you're excused 'aluminum'!) Then try to sing along. Pretty hard, even with the words in front of you. Without them, you'll probably be reduced to hastily joining in with the last of each line, with an 'ooh, I know this!' flourish. Particular challenge: get your tongue around "chlorine carbon cobalt copper tungsten tin and sodium"...
