Hydrogen.

Doesn't give a lot of trouble while doing calculations in Chemistry problems.

Atomic Weight? 1.
Molecular Weight? 2.

Can't get better than that.

Still doesn't make it an element.

But it IS two elements.

True it is not on the periodical table but it should be.

Why some of my friends call me 'Blonde'

This was an honest mistake.

Sure, I meant the periodic table.

Ken, I think we share some of the same idiologies.

lolololol. Thanks Sally, but no, i am just still high and silly a week later from a 3 hour surgery in which they drilled and drilled, cut, extracted, stitched and grafted bone -

I had a great time on N2O as always, and 5 minutes of H2O to level out, I was in my car navigating 3 freeways to come home. Try that on dope. NOPE.

Nitrous oxide is greater than sliced bread.

(sorry Ken)
