    1. Adam

    2. Interesting question. Hmmm... lessee...

    • Maya civilization - August 11 or August 13, 3114 BCE
    • Judaism - September 25 or March 29 3760 BCE
    • James Ussher (1654), and Young Earth Creationists - 23 October 4004 BCE
    • Traditional Catholics - 5199 BCE.
    • Byzantine Empire - September 1, 5509 BCE
    • Big Bang theory - 13.7 ± 0.2 billion years ago
    • Puranic Hinduism, 77,760 billion years ago


    Who do you believe? :confused:

    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 . Or worse still the old grey matter is decomposing to a mush due to early onset Alzheimers.:eek:

    Ok, Ok...

    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? ) 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.

    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,

    Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Oxygen, ..ummm.

    Once upon a time (year 12 I think it was) I knew the first 20 elements.

    Those were the days
