Report from Another Planet

From the online free version of the improbable Annals of Improbable Research comes an improbable journal entry recounting the day Oliver Sacks visited a guy who made a literal table of periodic elements. It includes videos of a self-induced sodium explosion and of liquid nitrogen turning eggs, cream and sugar into ice cream. Also, there's a snippy argument over who has the larger lump of tungsten.

I'm at a loss.
