			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As proof of my sporadic geekiness, I submit the following little time-waster:</p>
<p><object width="400" height="250"><param name="movie" value="http://screenhog.com/swf/ChemicalCompound.swf"><embed src="http://screenhog.com/swf/ChemicalCompound.swf" width="400" height="250"></embed></object></p>
<p>Want to know the logic behind this?<br />
<span id="more-241"></span><br />
OK&#8230; so basically, all this program does is take each letter of a person&#8217;s name, and replaces it with the appropriate element from this chart (some letters I had to make up names for, since they don&#8217;t show up very often in chemistry):</p>
<p>A &#8211; acetyl<br />
B &#8211; bio<br />
C &#8211; calci<br />
D &#8211; di<br />
E &#8211; endo<br />
F &#8211; fluoro<br />
G &#8211; geni<br />
H &#8211; hydroxy<br />
I &#8211; iodi<br />
J &#8211; juta<br />
K &#8211; kineti<br />
L &#8211; lumi<br />
M &#8211; milli<br />
N &#8211; nitro<br />
O &#8211; oxy<br />
P &#8211; phenyl<br />
Q &#8211; quat<br />
R &#8211; rhino<br />
S &#8211; silico<br />
T &#8211; tetra<br />
U &#8211; urani<br />
V &#8211; vanadi<br />
W &#8211; wethri<br />
X &#8211; xeno<br />
Y &#8211; ye<br />
Z &#8211; zinco </p>
<p>Then, the program adds either &#8220;ate&#8221;, &#8220;ide&#8221;, or &#8220;ite&#8221; to the end of it, unless the name ends with A, in which case it ends with &#8220;ic acid&#8221;. If the name has a double letter in it, the second letter is always &#8220;beta&#8221;.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s pretty much it. Tell your friends! Turn them into chemicals, too!</p>
