Hundreds of millions of people around the globe are interested in science. Millions still let science take over many parts of their life because they have such a strong interest. But only one person dines at a periodic table table with samples of each element inside. That one person is Theo Gray, co-founder of Wolfram Research.
Theo Gray dines at a periodic table table dedicated to all 118 elements. Inside his table are compartments that hold a sample of their respective element. You'll find a jar of mercury, uranium shells, and a silicon disc with an engraving of Homer Simpson (No, I'm serious!) Obviously some samples aren't too easy to find, like gases. And he doesn't have radioactive elements for, well, obvious reasons. Nevertheless, this guy certainly out-geeks every other geek in the world. Well, I guess he did co-found Wolfram Research...
