The Periodic Table of Your Period - Neatorama

I Heart Guts, the folks who make those cute plush organs, have unveiled a new chart: The Periodic Table of Your Period. See an enlarged version here.

We are pleased to introduce our latest celebration of menstrual cycles — The Periodic Table of Your Period. An illustrated guide to all things menses, we have included everything from bloating to chocolate, corpus luteum to period underwear. My geochemist husband came up with the idea and of course I am always dying to draw happy tampons, fallopian tubes and mucous, so I finally got my chance! If you look closely, you’ll find smiling condoms, IUDs and diaphragms in the Birth Control Series, alongside chemical diagrams of progesterone, folic acid and other important substances that course through your veins monthly.

The categories are conveniently color-coded and the whole thing is downloadable in case you want to frame it for your powder room. -via Laughing Squid

Frankenstein's Monster did have a name. Victor dubbed him "Adam" , though he was never actually addressed by that name.

I'm a Romanian. I don't mind talking about Dracula. B(r)am!

Regarding the pronunciation, you got it halfway correct: the 'ei' in the commonly used 'Frankenstein' is correct, and the 'Fronk-un' is correct. Add a 'sh' to that, and you'll get the proper German phonetics of 'Fronk-un-shtein'. Didn't know he was named 'Adam', Monica. Well done.

@Barking_Bud- Frankenstein is my favorite novel of all time (I've probably read it 50 times), so it wasn't that hard for me to know that little tidbit. ;) In the novel, after Victor sees what he's created, he abandons the name 'Adam' in his writings and refers to him only as the abomination, the creature, the monster, etc.

@Monica - The first half of my post was meant for the generic article reader and Miss C, it wasn't meant to be smart-allecky towards you :). And after that I just wanted to thank you for your contribution.

Actually, I assumed Miss C was making a joking allusion to Gene Wilder's character Fredrick Frankenstein in "Young Frankenstein," who insisted on that pronunciation in the beginning of the movie to divorce himself from his grandfather's reputation.

ror Gorira sounds kind of lacist.

Sorry to have misinterpreted then :p But hey, it's the Internet after all: German phonetics are awesome, all Frankenstein movies kick ass, and now 56% of us will probably watch a cute kitty video LOL

Sidenote: I am not German myself.
