1. Yes!

[LanternWaste]

2. I'd hate to see science pander to this element

I'd hate to see science pander to this element (no pun interned).

Elements are traditionally named only after places (most commonly, the region or country of origin of element's discovery), heavenly bodies, mythologies, or scientists.

[Glassunion]

4. mythologies... You do know Lemmy is god right?

You just negated your own point.

[Go Vols]

5. :)

[Glassunion]

8. Exactly my point.

I'm posting this just because...

[Go Vols]

24. +1

[LanternWaste]

9. Maybe informing them you think he's got a heavenly body would be more prudent.

"your own point..."

Not my point... the scientific convention of naming standards. Argue with them... I'm certain they'll allow you all the credibility you indeed, warrant. Maybe informing them you think he's got a heavenly body would be more prudent.

[Glassunion]

10. The point is that Lemmy is a mythological entity... Lemmy is God, therefore exectly what you would

name an element.

How do you not name an element after such a mythological entity?

12. those shorts look pretty legendary

I want them

[Warren DeMontague]

16. He and Bob Weir were obviously shopping at the same cutoff store during those years

[Cal Carpenter]

18. LOL

Lemmy and Bobby together in short cutoffs, what an image

[arcane1]

26. With cigarettes in their hands

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. Um, no

[Glassunion]

11. Um, yes

[Warren DeMontague]

6. As much as I like Lemmy, I think Garcianium should come first.

[Mika]

14. The point is that it is a heavy metal.

Jerry's heavy metal ...

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Ah, yes, I see. More appropriate for Lemmy, to be sure.

[Mika]

17. I heard that Grisman has some recordings he did w/Jerry coming out soon.

Always nice to run into a Jerry fan here.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Oh hell yes, I'll be all over that.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. In theory, element 118 is a noble gas, not a metal

http://www.livescience.com/41460-facts-about-ununoctium.html

so they could give Jerry that.

[Mika]

22. OK. Thanks for the update.

I heard about the Lemmy/ heavy metal angle on NPR.

[cemaphonic]

21. You ever lifted a banjo with a resonator?

(or really, any banjo with a tone ring)

Heavy metal definitely applies.

[callous taoboy]

7. Oh hell yes!

[jmowreader]

13. No, but there's a better way to honor him

It should be apparent to one and all that Lemmy Kilmister was the second-ugliest individual to walk a stage in the history of the world.

(This is the ugliest...)


Therefore, a new ISO standard for ugly should be created and named the Lemmy.

The scale will run from 1 to 100. Donald Trump gets a 73 and Ted Cruz an 85.

25. UDO!!!!

[jmowreader]

27. Udo's right: the new Accept has no soul

Here's some REAL Accept:

[opiate69]

29. Damn.. my bad big time... just grabbed the quickest I could find

[edhopper]

23. because he did so much

to advance science?

No, sorry, bad idea. Honor Lemmy some other way.

[melman]

30. Lemmy would hate that

He always said that Motörhead were a rock n roll band, and that they were not metal.

[DetlefK]

31. nopenopenopenopenope

What's next? Naming elements after celebrities? How about politicians? How much would it cost to name an element "Disneyum"?
