(WT#8)(Day 2)Minerals with Funny Names

Man, the other day I had this really great idea for a thread. I was going to post it an you were all going to say I was genius and love me even more than you already do, if that's possible.



Sadly, I forgot what it was.

Anyway, look at this.

 

LOL: Adamantane -- remember "Friend Or Foe"?

In Holland, "stront" means "sh-t", so "strontium" always gets a laugh or two among 16-year-olds.

 

Ah yes friend or foe

I'd have to say he's a friend, or else Laurie would kill me.

I think the most ridiculously unbelievable name has to be "cummingtonite", they're almost all hysterical though.

 

Cummingtonite

LMAO!

 

And this one: "Wel****e".

"What did you think of the movie?"
"Wel****e."

 

There are a few good ones like that..."fukitol" or "fucugetin".

I'd like to pass out Cummingtonite as a party favor just so I could say to all my guests "Cummingtonite?"

 

LOL.

"To help things along, you might want to try our Fuchsite."

 

"Just watch out for the Constipatic Acid"

 

Ooooh... thanks for the laugh, Tom. *sigh*
Comingtonite has to be the most unbelievable addition to that list.
