What a sad tale.  I have tried to breathe life into the periodic table above.  Most teachers try to breathe life into the tedium of teaching disinterested kids by reacting magnesium with oxygen.  I am guilty too.  We baited our Latin teacher mercilessly once we realised he had a sensitive soul. He wisely gave us our moment of victory so we went back to baiting each other.  If we had listened we could have understood that the chemical symbols take the name of the elements except those in Latin.  Pb = lead (plumbum), Fe = iron (ferrum), Na = sodium (natrium) K=potassium (kalium).  Get your revenge make your own latin names up and ask your chemistry teacher what curium, argentium and aurium are. He may know or guess but dont drive him to assault you.
