Periodic Curtain Of Elements



This shower curtain made my geeky heart happy when I saw it in a catalog. The price tag of $34.50 plus shipping & handling made me reconsider.

I think I'll stick to my cat-themed shower curtain for a while longer...

I had to relook the price tag. *how* much again? Heh.

Esther said...

Wow! Well, how much is education worth? ;) My sister lives in NYC and her shower curtain is of the NYC metro system. Everytime we need to figure out where we're going, it's 'Let's go consult the shower curtain.'

Yeah, but how often are you mixing chemicals (legally!) in the bathroom?

Cool curtain, though...

We had a periodic table placemat hanging in our bathroom for a while. It was about $3 I think...

I just hopped out of the shower and thought to myself that I needed a new curtain and here you are Ms. Period Table herself! Kewl, except I need a double size for my tub and $70 is waaay too much!

I'll just wait for the inevitable knock-off.

tlm said...

That is so wonderful! You need to get one.

I would too, but the mildew problem in my bathroom would make the table unreadable. (Especially the Lanthanide and Actinide series.)

i just reread my comment and I see my brain is still not functioning, so please change my "period" to "periodic".

OK, I blog about science - and I think that shower curtain is really geeky. So that should tell you something.

I saw a table once that had the periodic table on it. Blew my mind so bad I had to be put away--well, it was that and the drugs and the schizophrenia and the electric shocking and the drooling and glavin!

tlm: if you got a shower liner you would be able to read Thorium through Lawrencium, no problem.

rgmb: I knew what you meant.

phoenix: My geeknicity is showing.

jgm: yeah, that glavin will do it everytime.

actonbell: that would've come in handy during chem tests.

Geeky is right! Pretty neat though.

when I was in University our graduating class had sweatshirts made with the upside down periodic table on it. You could read it while you were wearing it!

cube said...

kyah: that's even better. I love it.

The price is def a bit higher than some curtains, but the curtain is great quality, and lasts for quite awhile. I have one myself, and it was a fun purchase when I moved into my apt. I get tons of compliments on it, b/c it's unique and pop art looking. The company, Simple Memory Art, does an entire line of envio-friendly products: www.simplememoryart.com. I give it a high five!
