Jason: I’m feeing really stupid today. It’s as if someone took a hose and filed my head with air. I couldn’t tell you the atomic mass of vanadium right now. You’d think sympathy wouldn’t be such a hard thing for people.
Vanadium is used in nuclear applications, for producing rust-resistant spring and high-speed tool steels, and as a carbide stabilizer in making steels. Approximately 80% of the vanadium that is produced is used as a steel additive or ferrovanadium. Vanadium foil is used as a bonding agent for cladding steel with titanium. Vanadium pentoxide is used as a catalyst, as a mordant for dyeing and printing fabrics, in the manufacture of aniline black, and in the ceramics industry. Vanadium-gallium tape is used to produce superconducting magnets.
Many American vets of WW II know this old saying: “If you’re looking for sympathy, you’ll find it in the dictionary – somewhere between ‘$hit’ and ‘syphilis.’”

“The atomic mass of vanadium”?

It’s 50.9415 ± 0.0001 u — in case you need to review.

But he could probably tell you exactly how much air it would take to fill his brain, based on the weight and relative mass…………..

I wonder if Einstein had days like that… “What does ‘e’ equal again?”
