Fe is the chemical symbol for iron, atomic number 26. Sometimes the periodic table of elements seems like high school, full of cliques and gossip. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms spend lots of time hanging out together while elements like Argon and Radon are loners, never bonding with others. Gold, Au, and Silver, Ag, are the rich elements, but I honestly think iron the the most popular. I can't believe iron thinks "rusty" is a term of affection! |

Scientists proved quantum entanglement is a thing. They split one subatomic particle into two, and then found that when they did something to one half, the other half was affected too. Meanwhile, they also proved the location of subatomic particles is dependent on observation. Until it's observed, a particle exists in different locations simultaneously. I know. The act of observing it collapses all those locations into one. And no one know why that is. Scientists also believe that every particle in the universe is entangled with every other particle because they were all part of the same singularity that exploded during the big bang. Don't you see, Susan? When we decide to find a particle's position, the particle decides to have one, because that particle is quantum-entangled with us! Ok ... but why'd you ask if I was followed coming here? An observer observing an observer who's observing an observer who observed how observation works just might be what caused the last big bang, |

47 Republican senators sent a letter to the government of Iran saying any agreement they reach with the president is worthless. Students in Oklahoma were caught cheerfully singing chants about lynching black people. Hillary Clinton used a private email address, and Kim Kardashian is blond now. I told you, constantly getting breaking news alerts on your phone would not end well. Jellyfish protein may help improve memory. |

Ever since you restarted your feud with Mrs. Cohen, our profits have increased 16%. I hope you're happy. I was … but then I crunched some numbers. It turns out that if you give it a little more effort, you can boost that number. 213 of patrons under 60 say they'd stick around longer if it meant they could watch Sadie give you and Atomic Wedgie. How do you live with yourself knowing you're not giving it your all? Pretty well. Businessman of the Year. Armstrong Maynard. |

Today, we'll talk with Professor Ernie about some lesser known units of measurement. Let's start with the "light-year." A 'light-year" is a unit of time measuring how long somebody stays on their diet. In most cases, it's counted in small fractions. No, a light year is a unit of length equal to the distance light travels in a year, about six trillion miles. What about the "angstrom"? The "angstrom" is a measurement of anxiety levels! Incorrect again. It's another unit of length --- It's used to describe atomic-level distances. Here's one which isn't a unit of length. What does "foot-pound" measure? That's obvious. Kickboxer punches! |

Personnel. Let's see what some of your former bosses say about you. Hmm ... This one says you stunk. That was normal, it was a fertilizer plant! And this one describes your work as up and down. That's good! It was a trampoline factory! Don't overlook the boss who gave me a performance review! Hey, you're absolutely right! But, unfortunately, that came when you were a safety officer at the nuclear power plant! |

Micro Psychiatry Clinic. You have a full schedule today, Doctor. The helium atom will be here to work on his fear of heights. The white blood cell with a germ phobia and amoeba with separation anxiety are coming in. The DNA molecule will be here about an identity crisis. And here, in the sports car, comes a new patient, a carbon-14 isotope. Ah, looks like he's going through a half-life crisis! |

Atomic Gossip. That oxygen is dating two hydrogens at the same time! If those hydrogens find out he's dating them both, things could get frosty! Or they might get angry --- things that would heat up and boil over! The situation with those three isn't as crazy as the nine oxygens, three nitrogens, five hydrogens and three carbons all living together in a very tangled web of personal relationships! Yeah, that nitroglycerin bunch --- that's an explosive situation! |

It looks like everybody down there is watching their atomic weight and trying to stay buffed up for beach season! The oxygen molecule is doing aerobics, and chlorine has been swimming laps in the pool all day. Mercury is racing around the track and, of course, the ferrous molecule is pumping iron. That shiny guy just stopped somebody from coming in without paying. He shouldn't do that. The neutron is never charged, and besides ... it's not gold's gym! |

Dear Annie, my father-in-law said I'm not man enough for his little girl. So I showed him one of my epithelial cells under extreme magnification and pointed out the Y chromosome. So what I want to know is, is there a non-surgical way to remove an atomic wedgie? I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS! |
