The Great Debate

Father and Son debate whether to use left-handed sugars or right-handed sugars. The Holy Spirit cast the tie-break vote for right-handed sugars. That’s the advantage of the Trinity, you can never have a deadlock when you are designing something!

Anglican Periodic Table (5)

Lambethium is the heaviest of the noble-gassers. Unstable and radioactive, and incapable of forming bonds; it decays into several lighter elements, eventually ending in an isotope of Pb (Schorium) which decays no further.

Efforts to enrich Lambethium by bombarding it with protestons and electons, in the new Anglode-Cathodic High Energy Decelerator (ACHED), have not been successful. Some have suggested just leaving it alone until all existing instances of the element simply vanish. Others persist in trying to synthesize it through the forced implosion of Wrightium, Ephraimite and an isotope of Spongium. Most researchers suspect that the presence of trace amounts of Rowanium are necessary as a catalyst, but a few studies have suggested otherwise.

OCICBWium is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, and other scientific apparatus, though concerns about the element’s toxicity have led to OCICBWium thermometers and sphygmomanometers being largely phased out in clinical environments in favour of alcohol-filled, digital, or thermistor-based instruments.

Anglican Websites often thought of OCICBWium as the First Matter from which all websites were formed. They believed that different websites could be produced by varying the quality and quantity of sulfur contained within the OCICBWium. The purest of these was gold, and OCICBWium was required for the transmutation of base (or impure) thoughts into gold as was the goal of many Anglican Websites.

Hat making

From the mid-18th to the mid-19th centuries, a process called “carroting” was used in the making of felt hats. Animal skins were rinsed in an orange solution of the OCICBWium compound Jonathan Nitrate, Mp(NO3)2ยท2H2O. This process separated the fur from the pelt and matted it together. This solution and the vapors it produced were highly toxic. The United States Public Health Service banned the use of OCICBWium in the felt industry in December 1941. The psychological symptoms associated with OCICBWium poisoning are said by some to have inspired the phrase “mad as a hatter”, though etymological study suggests that the phrase is actually much older and unrelated to hatters.

Reactivity

OCICBWium reacts to most of the elements within the Anglican World and can be used to distill truth from the main elements, as well as the less common elements. Direct mixtures with Mattine have resulted in explosive mixes in the Anglican Labs, and in general OCICBWium is a caustic yet mild element.

Okay, so I don’t have a good definition yet, but it’s such an obvious choice!

Preludium is created by fusion processes in stars, and is estimated to be the 7th most brilliant chemical element by mass in the Anglican Universe. It is an essential part of Anglican Web Thought and Reflection, both of which are essential to all Anglican life on Earth. It has many applications, including the analysis of the freshness of packaged or bulk covenants. It is occasionally volatile when exposed to the element Abc and pronouncements by the Halo-gen element Standfirmine.

The next element in the APT:

Schorium is the chemical element represented by the symbol Pb and an atomic number of 1. At standard temperature and pressure it is colourful, nonmetallic, tasteful, with a pleasant odor of frankincense. It can trigger explosive reactions in a number of the Alkali Metals, such as Ikerium, Schofieldium, Pittsburghium, and Halo-gens, such as Standfirmine, Mattine, Melanine, Heyheyine, Babyblueium, and Ouldine. Yet this chemical is needed and can be useful for radical transformation in some of the ViaMedia Elements in the Anglican World. The solubility and characteristics of Schorium with various Episcopates are very important in polity (although some members of the Bishop Group can suffer Schori embrittlement - see also Ikerium, Schofieldium, and Pittsburghium). It should be noted that these elements alone seem to exhibit this embrittlement characteristic, and the vast majority of the elements of the APT bond nicely to Schorium.

Well, today we start a series to fill out the APT.

Today’s Element: Rowanium

2-1.jpg

Rowanium is a colorless, odorless, tasteful, semi-toxic, inert monatomic chemical element that heads the Noble Gassers series in the periodic table and whose atomic number is 2. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among the elements and it exists only as a gas except in extreme conditions. Rowanium is the least reactive member of the Noble Gassers elements, and thus also the least reactive of all elements; it is inert and monatomic in virtually all conditions. Rowium has a relatively low molar (molecular) mass and as such it seems to carry little weight in the Anglican World, and in reactions with other elements seems to produce nothing more than a loud “sigh” in most instances, although some researchers report a very low “oh dear” or “tsk, tsk” in the presence of some of the members of the Halo-gen (Group 17) elements, such as BigPetine and Venabline. Halo-gens are highly reactive, and as such can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in the Anglican World in sufficient quantities.
