Actually, I thought that was rather funny. That being said, I first read it differently. I initially thought it read "You knob - tanium". I interpreted this as you calling the topic creator a "knob". (This seemed rather mean, but kind of funny nevertheless.)

On second read I got it. (That being said, I think my first read was rather workable as well.)

I agree. That's why I added "Unobtanium", and old engineers' joke about needing a material with properties they couldn't obtain. Irony, anyone?!?

I think that's becoming one of the unfortunate realities of this site. Some will vote on anything, whether they are interested or not; meanwhile, others will get more out of the discussion. (To each their own I suppose.)

Have to wonder what ever happened to Skern though, don't you? ;-)

The saddest thing is that people actually voted for it, obviously to get points... That doesn't enrich anyone culturally...

I feel so badly for Skern. This is a pretty questionable topic. Worse yet, he added "fire" and "water" as elements on the Periodic Table.

Now, I failed science class in high school, but even I'm pretty sure those "elements" weren't on the periodic table. Perhaps he's thinking of that 70's R&B band "Earth Wind and Fire"?

Is this topic for real???
