Glenn T. Seaborg died on this day 25 years ago, aged 86. - Seaborg majored in chemistry, and received a PhD in 1937. He coined the term "spallation" (the process of particles ejecting from an object due to a collision) in his doctoral thesis. He would work at the lab at the University of California Berkeley for his entire life. - Seaborg's first synthesis of a new chemical was the iron-59 isotope, followed by iodine-131. Both of these isotopes have been prominently used for medical purposes - However, Seaborg is best known for his discoveries/co-discoveries of many elements with over 90 protons (and therefore often synthesized by him)- in order, they were: plutonium (1940), americium (1944), curium (1944), berkelium (1949), californium (1950), einsteinium (1952), fermium (1952), mendelevium (1955), nobelium (1958)- and one more in the following factoid. - In 1974, Seaborg assisted in the synthesis of element 106. In 1994, this element would be named "seaborgium" after him, making him the first living person to have an element on the periodic table named after them (the second was Yuri Oganessian with oganesson being named in 2016): For his contributions, Seaborg would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951. - Besides these discoveries, Seaborg was also instrumental to the Manhattan Project, being the first person to isolate a plutonium isotope from uranium atoms, allowing mass production of plutonium for the Fat Man bomb. - Seaborg was also somewhat of an alchemist- he managed to remove protons and neutrons from bismuth atoms to turn them into gold atoms.

Mango boy is the first user I've decided to ignore posts for, which means I avoid all his spam but it makes everyone else in this thread look schizophrenic.

Sitting up watching the news and the state the world is in should be enough to finish anyone off

Borussia Mönchengladbach loses two Club legends, Danish champion Ulrik Le Fevre and German midfielder Friedhelm Frontzeck. Le Fevre contributed to two national championships during the club's 70s imperial phase. The first of quite a few danish imports. Frontzeck won the national Cup with them in 1960 and is the father of player/coach Michael Frontzeck: https://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fussball-bundesliga-moenchengladbach-trauert-um-ulrik-le-fevre-und-friedhelm-frontzeck-a-97441865-f8f9-4085-836a-973d159157be

❗Alexei’s body was given to his mother. Thank you very much to everyone who demanded this with us. While Lyudmila Ivanovna is in Salekhard. The funeral is yet to come. We don’t know whether the authorities will interfere with carrying them out the way the family wants and as Alexey deserves. We will provide information as it becomes available.

It's nothing, don't thank me. It was a pleasure, see you tomorrow.

What a honking great pile of dog eggs.

Edie Ceccarelli is a hit for @Trome, @LizLemon, @deadsox, @Johnnas and @Funeralopolis CONGRATULATIONS!!!

We should make you a mod.

Which was my original point....

What do you personally think the worst pick of this year was? Personally I think its a good year for choices but if I had to pick I would go with Pope Francis

Told you he'd get a breaking news notification.

Indubitably! Take note of Deathlist coffee mug. Also, note his stature. You’ll have to decide how much of a behemoth Sir Creep is, or if wrestlers appear huge on TV only.
