Scientists in
Utica searching for evidence of dinosaurs and bigfoot have
discovered a new
element for the periodic table. Most people wouldn't find this that interesting,
but, the element was found on
my property! I was having my scientist friends,
Alan, Ellie, and Ian over for some tea and they, being the
paleontologists
they are, decided to
go for a
dig. When Alan
found a
couple bones I was less than impressed. But Ellie, the paleobotanist of the trio,
found that the
soil was of nothing she had seen before. A few
(26.5) feet down into my yard, there was this
strange material, a
sand of which
nobody knew. A few glances were passed and it was
tested for
anything. It was
composed of an element
no man had
seen before. They, being generous, said "You name it, it was in your backyard." I insisted they name it, I mean
having discovered it it would only
be fair. I did end up naming it. Putting my blog on the map,
Phillyphanium was published.

I do love a good story, afterward
Ian was
killed in an awful accident when he was on vacation in
Costa Rica.
It was in the news. That was a good tale, a
classic if you will. They said they wanted to make a movie of it. I said, "If so, get me George Lucas."
at least it's the right colour....
