Un-Un-Pentium On Your Periodic Table of the Elements?
PolygamousRanchKid writes, quoting Forbes "Researchers at Sweden's Lund University have announced that they've been able to confirm the existence of element 115 on the periodic table. This research team isn't the first to create element 115, which is currently known as ununpentium. The first claim that ununpentium had been synthesized in a lab was by a joint group of Russian and American researchers, who believed that they created it in their lab in 2004."

What's it good for? Selling large wall maps of Periodic Tables to sci-geeks who are now pissed that theirs is as accurate as a politicians expense report.

Un-un-pentium is element 114.999997
I would say more like element 114.9998797414
Jokes about pentium are boron.

We can use it to generate gravity waves which will allow us to fly to Mars and destroy the alien outpost there, ending the invasion of Earth.
We call that a "truck". Or "lorry", if you're British.
We call that one a "helicopter".
We call that one "reflashing your 'smart' meter"
I've heard Element 123 possesses weapons of mass destruction. Is that enough for a reason?
