Chemical Words List

An anonymous reader writes "Mark Nandor, a teacher of mathematics at The Wellington School, has recently posted a new chemical words page. For those who haven't seen this before, it is a list of English words that can be spelled using chemical symbols."

If Mr Nandor joins force with this lecturer [slashdot.org], we will have karateoke in chemistry classes.

This might be spammers' wet dream, like Carbon Iodine Aluminium Iodine Sulfur or Vanadium Iodine Silver Radium.

Don't tell the NSA about this...

[zymurgy_cat]

You just *know* that someone will claim that people are sending coded messages (for WMDs, no doubt) through regular emails or phone conversations:

Analyst: "Sir! We just analyzed that last phone call from Mike in Idaho to his mother, the missionary feeding poor children in Afghanistan. If we use the new chemical-word-filter, he's clearly providing instructions on building some type of chemical weapon, one based on vinegar and what looks to be corn syrup...or maybe pecans."
NSA supervisor: "We can't afford another 9/11. Engage the standard rendition plan and have them relocated."
Analyst: But sir! Shouldn't we get a warrant or find some corroborating evidence?
Supervisor gives a glaring, angry look.
Analyst: Just kidding! ahahah...man, that gets you every time!
Supervisor: Good one! I guess the beer's on me tonight.

Patriotic music plays as supervisor slaps analyst on the shoulder and both freeze in place with big smiles.

Re:First page?!

Is this really front page worthy?

New around here, are we?

It's one of the most front-page worthy stories currently on the front page.
