Reason 23: What element?

Today in class we were playing a rousing game of Electron Configuration Battleship. The students have to fire shots by writing the electron configuration for different atoms. They then call out the name of element and a hit or miss.

Student 1: "Fire" Turning white board to display electron configuration.

Student 2: Looking very intently... " Harassium!!!"

Smack my forehead.

Me: "Well harassium is my favorite thing to do to students."
