Yttrium is definitely a "Rare Earth Element," but not THAT rare. There is a little bit of Yttrium in every CRT (read: old-school television tubes), it is used to generate the red color.

Did you ever play with those high-temperature superconductors from the late eighties/early nineties, where you dump liquid nitrogen on them and they will levitate above a permanent magnet? Wait, let me find a link here:

Yeah, I do aim high, to be sure, but it is all real science. No Star Trek hokum here.

Wow... people have said I look like Cary Elwes, but not Charlie Sheen.... thanks. And yes, that is a sketch of me. But the artist was being kind, methinks.

Or maybe it IS just a character..... muahahahaha

Yeah. Leeroy hit WoW just as I was beginning to burn out on the whole six-hour-long-raid concept. Never saw the original vid. Tho I hear it was frickin' hilarious.
