pie

me: Do hamantaschen count as pies?
him: No, pies are round.
...(later in same conversation)...
him: I once made a persimmon pie. I made it in Revere.
me: I thought you were going to say you made it in reverse. From the top down.
him: I regurgitated it. I didn't know I had it in me.
(I succumb to a fit of giggles)
me: That was both delightful and disgusting.

Titanium is used a lot for different things, I think. I find tungsten to be vaguely geeky - it's apparently the only transition metal that is used in jewelry making, and it has the highest melting point of *all* metals, second only to carbon in all elements.

plus it has a really high atomic number. :)

I guess - your answer why appealed to me because of who we are (science!), but your choice was different than mine was for that reason, so I'm seeing if you can sell me on it.

I didn't know anything about tungsten, and now that I do I think I agree that it's even more geeky than titanium. :)
