The Periodic Table of the Elements Memory Train - Part 1

Click HERE for high resolution

One day a HYDROGEN airship selling HELIUM balloons landed in front of a LITHIUM battery shop to buy some precious BERYL crystals.

The shopkeeper told the pilot "we sell batteries here, not crystals you moron!" which was only expected considering the pilot was a bear, making him a BORON. Borons, just like any other living organism consists mostly of carbon with excess nitrogen in them making them really muscular but at the same time exceptionally dumb.

Taking in a deep breath of OXYGEN, the Boron realised that his mouth really stank, so he took out his FLUORIDE toothpaste and started brushing his teeth. This made him grab a lot of attention from other customers like a NEON sign in the middle of a rural village where SODIUM chloride (Salt) was very expensive. What makes this village worse was that it did not contain any traces of chlorophyll (MAGENSIUM) which makes it unsustainable.

The Bear thought of this immediately and boarded a ALUMINIUM hull aeroplane to render assistance to the villagers. Landing was rough, as the ground was covered in SILICON filled sand and soil. The bear cried "No wonder there aren't any plants, this soil is PHOSPHOROUS deficient!

Just then, a snake bit him. The bear threw SULFUR on it and it got angry. The snake chased him and the bear ran and jumped into a CHLORINATED swimming pool. An ARGON filled light bulb sprang up in his mind. He had an idea on how to re-establish this community.

First, he gave POTASSIUM rich fruits and vegetables to the weak and frail villagers to eat. Then, he fed them CALCIUM laden milk to build up their bones. Next, the bear donated high end sports equipment made of SCANDIUM alloys to build up their strength. Then the villagers got strong and started getting greedy. They demanded the bear to give them TITANIUM and VANADIUM alloy fighter jets coated CHROME green. But their metal industry was developed yet, so the bear started ordering MANGANESE to process IRON and steel.

The bear wasn't pleased at the villagers' ungrateful nature, so he secretly installed an electromagnet made of COBALT on his aeroplane and turned it on, sucking all their metal away from the village. The villagers were very sad, and tried to appease the bear by giving him their NICKEL coins.

However, the bear was not easily swayed. Eventually, the villagers were left with no choice but to cut the COPPER wires of the aeroplane electronic system to stop the bear from taking their metal away. The instant they were cut, brass (copper + ZINC) instruments started sounding all around them. The bear ran in and shouted "How dare you people destroy my GALLIUM and GERMANIUM circuit boards?!"

The villagers ran towards the bear and tried to force ARSENIC down his throat in an attempt to silence him. The bear broke free and forced their faces down onto the photocopier that uses SELENIUM to photocopy their faces, used his old-fashioned camera with silver BROMIDE photography film to capture their images. However, the villagers turned on a flashlight filled with KRYPTON gas, directing it towards the camera and ruining the photographic film.

To be continued...
