- The October 1992 issue of _Analog_ magazine has a "Periodic Table of the
- Aliments" by Jonathan Vos Post and Dr. Christine Carmichael. Here's a sample:
-
- [In the magazine, these are arranged like a periodic chart]
- >H = Hamburger
- >He = Herring
- >Li = Liver
- >Be = Beans
- >...
- >Ce = Celery
- >Cs = Cheese
-
- [I forgot whether cesium was Ce or Cs. Those two-letter postal abbreviations
- give me trouble too, but I never had to mail a letter to Cesium.]
