3. Four. Fire, Earth, Air & Water. (None of this mystical #5 being "spirit" for him... he knew better!)
4. About 30 seconds after getting a snootful of steam when his fig-leaf caught on fire and he doused it by... natural means.
I think I must've wagged science class the day we covered this:o . Or worse still the old grey matter is decomposing to a mush due to early onset Alzheimers.:eek:

From memory, the German Doberman(?? Dober-something, anyway. Isn't it amazing that ya can remember the 'aides de memoire' from exam swot-sessions, but not what they meant? :o) was the first to start things rolling in the... late 1700's?
Mendelev & Meyer, seperately, were the first with something along the lines of what we would recognise as a periodic table. I think Mendelev pipped Meyer to it by a nose, only a matter of months. Around... 1880??
No idea about # of elements or date of completion... but if the # of elements didn't match what we know today, it was hardly ye compleat tabulation, was it now?
My brain hurts. :(
It was Uncle Bob who tried to make a coffee table but stuffed in completely and made a periodic table.
Last Thursday
It had 5 legs.
Zed mate, you ask the most cod boring questions.
Like, who cares?
I forgot all that stuff when I finished high school. Which was many many moons ago,
I know we're not allowed to look any of this stuff up in Google, but I never did understand any of it until I read Bill Bryson's Brief History of just about everything.
Great yarn, wish I'd had it in year 8.
Cheers,
P:D

Once upon a time (year 12 I think it was) I knew the first 20 elements.
Those were the days :rolleyes:
