Neat Wikipedia Entry #2: Immature Puns Edition
Posted by Non-Shannon
Being a chemist, and one with a childish sense of humor at that, I was filled with glee upon discovering this Wikipedia entry:
Cummingtonite
Cummingtonite or magnesium iron silicate hydroxide is a metamorphic amphibole with the chemical composition
(Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2.
My preferred definition: What The Thing’s…um…thing is made of.

Thanks to Bill Peschel from the CC for the Straight Dope link above.

Not having any Cummingtonite is like having a whole lot of Antimony! LOLS
