elements! gotta catch 'em all

The Periodic Table Table is far too cool not to share.

What is it?

• It's a periodic table...table. As in, an actual wooden table, with the different element groups made of different parts of wood. It's gorgeous, yet incredibly complicated, like some medieval apothecary's makeup cabinet.
  
• It's a receptacle for element collecting. Each element tile

Ah, sodium's not that bad. Now, potassium is considerably more exciting to have react with water.

Well, cesium even more so, ostensibly, but Gray doesn't seem too willing to chuck his sample into a lake.

I once heard an indie rock song that I thought went, "Potassium! It's over! / Potassium, okay! / Potassium, potassium, it'll blow you away...Asymptotes, asymptotes, in powers of two, in powers of two!" Then I found out the lyrics were far more boring and the guy was merely singing in a stupid British punk rock lisp.

Also, a potassium story sent in by a reader.

Geez. Not the kind of stuff I'd want to mess with.
