everyone who's anyone voted for tungsten, I mean, come on it doesn't even have to do much to pwn, it just does.  Plus, I have a $80 spork made of it.

A lot of good ones.  Hydrogen's used in a lot of shit, oxygen is needed to sustain human life, chlorine when isolated is deadly, tungsten just rocks, uranium and plutonium and lead won us WWII, silver just looks nice, and lithium makes for the best batteries.

In the end I say hydrogen because it's 2/3 of water, which is believed to be necessary to sustain all life.

Francium FTW! ([size=8pt]Hoggins ponders on a 'Francium bomb', then gives up as clever people could make the same effect with a barn holding some sugar & other things [[size=7pt]A Team style![/size]][/size])

Actually had to think about this one for a while. I chose Ununquadium, the biggest and most unknown one. And how can anyone not know all of the elements? Come on! :P

What about ununoctium, one of the noble gases?

Supposedly they have only had 3 atoms of it.

I'm pretty sure you can't.

You never heard of oxygen or hydrogen or nitrogen or helium before? Are you serious?

I didn't see them on there.

they were some of the first elements on the list

It was removed officially after the experiment (double-checking) failed. Now the only super-completely-confirmed ones are up to Ununquadium.

Some of those elements called "Un (whatever)" now have names, I believe.

Ah yeah. Some he didn't change.
111=Darmstadtium
112=Roentgenium
I think…some definitely got those names anyway.

Nothing known. Was just an experiment to make some atom big.
