I dig this Periodic Table Table that appeared on MAKE. One commenter there says he thinks it's from the Wake Forest University campus in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Great idea for a... science park. (Thanks, Lindsay Tiemeyer!)

This is surely one of the most adorable animal YouTubes in the history of all internets. (via @maggiekb1 via this blog).... More.
Found on Sean Bonner's tumblog.... More.
Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.
The Good News: If you're in New Orleans on November 22, you can watch a mock battle between Jared the Subway guy and the inventor of the po' boy sandwich (both are reenactors as the po' boy inventor is dead and Jared is probably not allowed to participate in anti-fast food stage combat). The Bad New... More.
Do they expand the bench to make room for more trans-uranic elements? It stops at 103.
It's a nice table, but I couldn't see myself using it every day. It's more of a periodic table.
//There's a MST3K reference for everything.
I think I would feel odd sitting on Plutonium. It didn't work out so well last time I tried it.
#elements ~ # keys, so would make a nice keyboard mod for a touch typing chemist.
No, the trans-uranic elements go on the periodic toilet of elements.
A little higher and it would make one lovely backyard bar.
of course, you would have to drink from beakers
That is a nice periodic bench.
Those elements go on the trans-uranic BBQ.
A periodic bench seems like what you would use to sit at an occasional table.
better to have it on the bench than on the table where someone might accidentally put a salad bowl on it.
They should put lights under the radioactive elements so they glow.
Yes- that's definitely the periodic table from Wake Forest! It's right outside of the chemistry building (appropriately).
Oooh! A bench made of lanthanides! Or are they the actinides? I can't remember....
@ #12:
The problem is, all elements have radioactive isotopes:)
