- (Just because a song has been memorized does not mean it can
- be pronunced. I had no idea how tongue-twisting "chlorine-carbon-
- cobalt-copper-tungsten-tin-and-sodium" could be at high speeds, in
- context. Call it Freudian, but it always comes out "tungsten-SIN-
- and-sodium". On the other hand, I can say "molybdenum" at that speed a
- lot more coherently than Mr. Lehrer can.)
