Do YOU know where the periodic table came from?

A few notable occurrences over the past few days...

This one from an 8th grader the students sometimes call "Grandpa," I think it has to do with the way he walks as well as the fact that he's so organized and meticulous and knows a lot of stuff (not exactly your typical 8th grader).
I was sitting at a table in the library folding cardstock into dice for a chemistry game.
Grandpa: Ms Book, what are those?
Me: These? Um...they're ion dice.
Grandpa: Oh, yeah, I think I've heard of those before.
Me: Well that's interesting considering I just made that up now when you asked me...

----------------
Say Anything (using her ion puzzle pieces): These smell like an airplane.
Mr. Arrogant: What!?!?
SA: You know, the smell of the air being used again and again...
Mr. A: I don't think I'd know what airplane smelled like if there were an engine up my nose!

Loud Girl (eating an orange): These oranges are voluptuous.
Teacher (who will remain anonymous ;) ): That's what he said.
Loud Girl's eyes:
O_O

And of course, no day would be complete without Flava Flav.

Me (writing at the board and talking): Today we're going to answer the question "Where did the periodic table come from?"
FF: Bangkok!!
