You are quite close even though the riddle doesn't have anything to do with making Downer Periodic Tables... Keep guessing.

(And yes, I think Abercrombie is a female.)

Come on, this is an old joke... anyone who's been around long enough should know it and newer members, especially thoise who know anything about science, have very good chances of guessing it...

Elementary? *thinks about members named Hydrogen or Phosphorus* Actually, maybe I am only helping someone else by this, but I really don't have a clue.

You might be because you're very close...

Maybe ... Ka? Is Ka an element?

Thinlómien · 12-03-2007, 10:18 AM

No, it isn't, but it is (I believe) the proper abbreviation for potassium, which is an element, so you're right.

Please take the thread.

Kath · 12-03-2007, 10:23 AM

Nooo potassium is just K I think. But alright, I guess I'll take it!

Erm:
A realtor by two different letters is still a realtor, isn't he?

Um, I might mention that while that makes perfect sense to me, it might not to others!

I may be close but I don't know. The only ones I can think of is Diamond18, which of course would be only another modification of carbon, but that is probably too far. Another one that I thought of is THE Ka, while K is the mark for... however you call that in English. But that's also quite overstretched, I think.
Otherwise, there is just Boron (88), but he's not a female

Oh, shame. X-ed. But never mind, I will leave it here for the potential readers to have fun

Thinlómien · 12-03-2007, 10:24 AM

Bad luck, Legate. But you were right about it being K not Ka, my memory seems to be a bit crap.

Anyway, this is the thread from which the joke bagan, if you or anyone else is interested.

edit: xed with K(ath)
