Two atoms are walking down the street. Suddenly the first one says "HEY! I think I lost an electron!" The other one says "Are you sure?" The first says "Yeah, I'm positive!"
I should note I was too busy face-palming to formulate my response in the form of a chemistry pun...BTW, did you mean bucky-ing the trend...? Also BTW, when I was doing undergraduate research we accidentally synthesized an yttrium 60 compound. Paper on it somewhere...
This thread is making me wonder...if there is an element called Plutonium, why isn't there one called Goofium?

A marine biologist discovered a way to keep dolphins alive forever. The key to his method was that the dolphins must eat a fertilized egg each day. One day as he went to fetch the eggs for his dolphins, he noticed a lion sleeping in front of the doorway to the laboratory where the eggs were kept. Since the lion was fast asleep he thought the risk was minimal so he quietly opened the door, stepped over the lion, and then quietly closed the door behind himself. Once he had collected the fertilized eggs he'd need to feed the dolphins, he quietly opened the door and saw that the lion was still asleep in the doorway. He quietly stepped back over the lion carrying the fertilized eggs and was promptly arrested. The charge was transporting underage chicks over a staid lion for immortal porpoises.
