Wolfram co-founder Theodore Gray, whose books, puzzles, posters, vaults (!), card decks, and apps about the Periodic Table of Elements we've featured on Boing Boing many times, has a happy obsession: a Periodic Table Table. Beautiful, hand-carved, wood. More about it in this fun video right here. The table isn't new (there's a well-worn page on Gray's website all about it), but the fun video is. http://boingboing.net/2012/02/23/the-pe ... table.html

He has a pretty cool hobby, and sends a lot of money on it. Did you see the mercury bottle? That must have been very illegal. xD

I did, don't think anyone cares about him owning a little bit of mercury though. And if they do, then he has plenty of ways to kill them.

I've had it in my hands once and seen it in bottles a few times. At some point I want to buy a flask

If they contain the elements, then most of those will kill you.

I wonder why there is one missing, am I missing some kind of pun or did she just run out of muffins?
