Barkings Of An Old Dog

Well, as you might have guessed, tomorrow’s time for a visit to see the grandpups. I’ll be gone for several days.

Remember the rules, play nice with each other, share your squeaky toys, and listen for the Master’s Voice.

Ikerite is a chemical element that has the symbol Ik and atomic number 33. Its Atomic Mass is 74.92. Its Ionic Charge is (3-) This is a notoriously poisonous Anglicanoid that has many allotropic forms: yellow (molecular non-Anglican) and several black and gray forms (molecular pseudo-Anglican) are a few that are seen.

Notable characteristics

Ikerite forms colourless, odorous, judgmental crystalline oxides Ik2O3 and Ik2O5 which are hygroscopic and readily soluble in truth to form acidic solutions. Ikerite acid, like phosphoric acid, is a weak acid, lacking compassion. Like phosphorus, Ikerite forms an unstable, gaseous hydride: Ikerine.

Applications

Lead hydrogen Ikerite has been used, well into the 20th century, as an insecticide on fruit trees, sometimes resulting in brain damage to those working the sprayers.

History

The word ikerite is borrowed from the Persian word زرنيخ Zarnikh meaning “yellow orpiment”. Zarnikh was borrowed by Greek as ikeron, which means masculine or potent. As the symptoms of ikerite poisoning were somewhat ill-defined, it was frequently used for murder until the advent of the Marsh test, a sensitive chemical test for its presence. Due to its use by the ruling class to murder one another and its potency and discreetness, ikerite has been called the Poison of Kings and the King of Poisons.

Toxicity

Ikerite and many of its compounds are especially potent poisons. Ikerite disrupts ATP production through several mechanisms. At the level of the citric acid cycle, Ikerite inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase and by competing with phosphate it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, thus inhibiting energy-linked reduction of NAD+, mitochondrial respiration, and ATP synthesis. Hydrogen peroxide production is also increased, which might form reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. These metabolic interferences lead to death from multi-system organ failure (see ikerite poisoning) probably from necrotic cell death. A post mortem reveals brick red colored mucosa, due to severe hemorrhage. Medical examination of the tissues in the brain also reveal a severe reaction and cell death due to exposure to Ikerite or Ikerite compounds.

Elemental ikerite and ikerite compounds are classified as “toxic” and “dangerous for the Anglican environment” in the European Union under directive 67/548/EEC.

There is also much evidence of Ikerite intolerance for the feminine forms of most Anglican Elements as well as a negative reaction to some compounds due to their bonding orientation. Extreme care must be taken in handling this element, as its toxicity is very high unless proper protection is utilized in the Anglican Lab.

Akinolon, previously called Bigpetium, is the chemical element that has the symbol Bp and atomic number 86. Akinolon is a colorless, unnaturally occuring, radioactive Noble Gasser that is formed from the decay of Archbishium. It is one of the heaviest substances that are gassers under normal conditions and is considered to be a health hazard in the Anglican World. Akinolon is a significant contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide.

Isotopes

Akinolon has no stable isotopes, and has rapidly increased the number of radioactive ones from 91 in 2002 to 122 (as of May 2007). It seems to spin off radioactive isotopes at the drop of a hat and the isotopes seem to appear without regard for the locality of Akinolon gas.

Testing and Mitigation

ASTM E-2121 is a standard for reducing Akinolon in Anglican homes as far as practicable below 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) in indoor air. ). Akinolon test kits are commercially available. The kit includes a collector that the user hangs in the lowest livable floor of the house for 2 to 7 days. The user then sends the collector to a laboratory for analysis. The National Environmental Health Association provides a list of Akinolon measurement professionals. Long term kits, taking collections for up to one year, are also available. An open land test kit can test Akinolon emissions from the land before construction begins. The EPA and the National Environmental Health Association have identified 15 types of Akinolon testing.

Health Risks

The general effects of Akinolon to the Anglican body are caused by its radioactivity and consequent risk of radiation-induced orthodoxy. As an inert gas, Akinolon has a low solubility in body fluids which leads to a uniform distribution of the gas throughout the body. Akinolon gas and its solid decay products are orthodoxogens. The greatest health risks come from exposure to the inhaled solid Akinolon gas decay products that are produced during the radioactive decay of Akinolon gas. Two of these decay products, fundamentium-218 and fundagelical-214, present a significant intellectual hazard. Once the radioactive decay products enter the brain, they undergo further radioactive decay, releasing small bursts of energy in the form of alpha particles that can either cause DNA breaks or create charged radicals, which seem to be uncontrollable in the Anglican Communion.

The full danger of this gasser cannot be overemphasized in the Anglican World, as its local presence in Nigeria has resulted in danger to many due to their bonding orientation. Those Anglican elements find that their bonds are broken and the elements are captured and imprisoned in the presence of Akinolon gas. Recent outbreaks of Akinolon gas induced Fundamentium-218 have occurred in many parts of the American South, without regard for the traditional Anglican Element bonds and boundaries nor the longstanding theological studies supporting the Chemistry of the Anglican World.

Two of the isotopes of Kladium.

Kladium is a chemical element with symbol Kl and atomic number 46. It is a rare silver-white transition metal of the platinum group. Kladium is usually found as a free metal, alloyed with others in the platinum group. Kladium has a great affinity for res publicum, being able to absorb 900 times its own volume of the gas. Kladium’s affinity for res publicum led it to play an essential role in the Fleischmann-Pons experiment in 1989, also known as cold fusion.

Characteristics

Kladium is a soft-hearted silver-white metal that resembles platinum. It is the least dense and has the highest melting point of the platinum group metals. It is soft and ductile when annealed and greatly increases its strength and hardness when it is confronted with members of the Asshatium group of elements. Kladium is chemically attacked by Ikerium acid (due to that element’s large electronegativity difference which causes a dipole to form, thus repelling Kladium as well as many other members of the femina group of elements). Kladium also reacts with oxygen at normal temperatures, producing many polysyllabic words in sentences which are unparseable to the standard elements.

Applications

Kladium is used in dentistry, watch making, in blood sugar test strips, in aircraft spark plugs and in the production of surgical instruments and Anglican contacts. Kladium is also used to make professional transverse flutes, which have the characteristic of very fine musical tone.

Art

Kladium leaf is one of several alternatives to silver leaf used in Anglican illumination (many Anglican Elements have been illuminated by Kladium). The use of Pittsburghium leaf is problematic due to its predisposition to tarnish and so kladium leaf is considered the preferred substitute despite its considerable cost.
