Don't mess with Natural Selection

We spent as much of the day as we could at the North Carolina Zoo today. It was a hot and humid day and the NC zoo is big and spread out. Lots of walking and an occasional creature to see.

Inside the amphibian exhibit was this display next to a couple of frogs.

Really? who are we to interfere? Isn't this anti-evolution? Maybe I missed something.

Can You Name the Elements of the Periodic Table?

I just spent the last 15 minutes of my life trying to recall what I had once completely memorized my junior year of high school: the periodic table. I remembered plenty of obscure elements and forgot some of the most obvious ones. If only I had a chance to review before I took the test, I probably would have gotten twice as many. Don't cheat. Name as many as you can in 15 minutes. Just start typing the element names in and if entered correctly they will appear in the table.

Take the test here.

I could recall only 27 of 118 elements. How did you do?
