I like it! Make the Periodic Table more fun! Back in the '60s when I was studying chemistry, I remember thinking it wasn't a lot of fun.

At least it's chemists, not politicians, who are contemplating changes. Back in the '30s (I think), the Indiana legislature considered a bill to change the value of pi to 3.2.

Periodically.

Life changes.
Thank goodness I don't have to memorize any new one, as I did the old with my minor in Chemistry.
I spent more time at the Periodic Table than the dining table.
That's definitely changed.
For me, pi was 3.14159 but now it's Medium or Large and hot out of the oven.

Pie are squared. No, Pie are round.

Hahahaha

Enough silly math and science jokes. Not sure what's wrong with the periodic table given how it was put together. Just seems logical to me. I was also a science major and pre-med. I only wish I had a computer back then. School would have been much easier

Cornbread r squared

Corn bread can be round too. I guess a square pie is a cobbler.
