Heavy Metal

A fellow I know is behind this campaign. He's not the one named in the article, but the one who suggested it to him.

A Liverpool professor has backed a campaign to rename a “super-heavy” periodic element in memory of Motorhead frontman Lemmy.

A petition is calling for one of four newly-discovered elements to be named “Lemmium” in tribute to the rock superstar, who died earlier this month.

More than 28,000 people have backed the campaign since it started two days ago.

You can sign the petition here.
