118, what's your favorite?

Chemist explains why gold beat out all of the other elements on the periodic table for currency.  

My money's still on lithium though....      what an exciting element!     Brings back memories of high school chemistry and learning about the power of metal oxide reactions.    Stuff our country was made on - e.g. construction of transportation - railroad ties helped along via thermite reactions.  

Ah... guess I have been a scientist for many years now.   So happy to be getting the final credential.   :)
