Once upon a time I fell deeply in love with the periodic elements, the table, Dmitri Mendeleev, the symbols, everything. I have several other side projects that involve the elements, but this little one comes from the fact that I once sat in a classroom to the right of center so that I was right in front of a poster of the elements, not the teacher. It made me remember that years before I had tried to make as many dirty words as I could out of the periodic symbols. Anyway, at one point I had a philosophy class in this clasroom and I spelled FEuErBaCH, which looks impressive. (Ludwig Feuerbach was a German philosopher).
Recently I started collecting this list of words that can be spelled with the element symbols on wordnik under the tag “periodic symbol words.”

May 6, 2010I just heard it on Poetry Off the Shelf podcast but I can’t find a transcription online so I’ve made one of my own:
I love you as if it’s World War II
And you’ve just been called up
It’s raining hard
And I’m wearing a sensational goodbye hat
