Badger generosity and compassion should be on the list ! As in Tassie Devils, a rare commodity indeed.  Interesting list, had not even heard of most of them.  |

I had heard of californium and seen it on the periodic table before , but never read up on it, till i read this article and did some follow up on that good old staple, Wiki, Even more interesting there is another related synthetic element related to Californium called, Einsteinium, i sh*t you not.... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californiumen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einsteinium |

It seems as if human brain tissue is all but priceless due to its rarity if obtained from a mod in the other place.
Although it only appears and is listed only on the monthly period periodic table of the BBQ though.

Read about the Einsteinium, interesting the way it is formed. Years ago I read a good story about him. In a rare interview he was asked how he went about solving problems. One of the things he said stuck in my mind - no matter what the issue was, he imagined what would happen if it was 0%, as opposed to 100%, and he decided how to solve it based on this. He used an example of a river flowing through a farming district, and farmers dumping things like chemicals in the river. If only one farmer did it there would be a localised fish kill in that area, which would eventually dissipate. But if every farmer did it the river would die. Answer to the problem was not to allow anyone to dump things in the river. That does not mean Einstein was a leftie, lentil eater - he just had common sense. |

He should have also tested what would happen if you let each farmer dump on the day of the monh with the same number as the place in the alphabet of his last name initial. That way if it disapated dumping could still be done..a win win for all rather than a loss for all. |

Dumping chemicals in any watercourse is a bad idea, full stop.

Dumping chemicals in any watercourse is a bad idea, full stop. But Einstein used the Scientific Method. He had to have at least one hypothesis then try to disprove it. He in fact would never have come to the conclusion you gave from those two cases. We may think dumping is wrong but that is far from a proven fact based on those two cases |

Take it up with him. I am not going to argue with Einstein. And we "think" dumping is wrong for very good reason. Google "the worlds most polluted rivers" and keep in mind they flow into our oceans. |

Pretty sad world we live in when the only thing you can "harvest" from a river is the garbage floating on the surface. Doubt if you could eat anything that could possibly live under it. This is what happens when there are no laws (enforced) regarding polluting rivers. Citarum River - West Java - Indonesia i68.tinypic.com/6zmt8m.jpg |

Being somewhat indelicate I suppose the most expensive materials in the long run are those pink fleshy bearded clams that belong to ones partner or if batting for the other side possibly the sweetbreads or the buttock bike rack of ones partner!!!   |
