Many Thanks.  Not many agree with me.

Hi Biny, I hope you get this comment.  Your account is hidden, so I can't send you a message.  You asked about Plutonium having the Symbol "PU".  I found some info on it, it appears to have been a joke by the guy who named it.  You don't hear people say "PEA-YEW", (PU) much any more when they smell something rotten, but "PU" was a take-off on that.  Here's what I found.

"suggested that element 94, being the next element in the series, be named for what was then considered the next planet, Pluto.[4][note 2] Seaborg originally considered the name "plutium", but later thought that it did not sound as good as "plutonium."[33] He chose the letters "Pu" as a joke, which passed without notice into the periodic table.[note 3] Alternate names considered by Seaborg and others were "ultimium" or "extremium" because of the now-discredited belief that they had found the last possible element on the periodic table."

I hope this helps.  Have an awesome week-end.

Thanks Balrog my computer was busted and I finally was able to fix it so I will be on more now also if you know anything about the iOS6 stuff then can you check out my question about it and I don't know why my account is hidden

If you're under 18, or tell AOL you're under 18 on your profile, you're automatically hidden until you turn 18. About the IOS6, the only person I know who tried it told me it was garbage, he had nothing but problems with it. I see just in the last couple of days, Apple has apologized for marketing it before "all the problems with it were worked out." or some such nonsense. I guess the fact is it just isn't any good. Hope this helps.
