Two Elements Added To Periodic Table 138
smitty777 writes "Two new elements have been added to the periodic table of the elements. Elements 114 and 116 are the weightiest known, with atomic weights of 289 and 292 respectively. The discoverers are proposing flerovium and moscovium as names for these two new discoveries. There are also arguments being made to add in three more as well: 113, 115 and 118." We've noted element 114 in the past, but this is more official.

That only works if you (for some reason) insist on using the currency-based measure for gold, but not on all the other items.
That's retarded. One of the first things you do is ensure your units are consistent.
