2. You're not the only one.

I personally usually think about Americium several times a day, every day, but my favorite element to think about is plutonium, since it's just so fascinating.

Other elements I think about regularly are of course, carbon, and titanium and cesium, neptunium, cerium, cobalt, strontium, barium, and fluorine.

My son used to joke with me when we were touring universities and we'd walk down the halls of academic buildings to view the posters and there'd be some poster about say, zirconium, and I'd say, "that's my favorite element," and he'd say, "Dad, every element is your favorite element..."

It's kind of true.

Don't worry about your smoke detector going critical. It won't.
