I thought he was a family man too, no?

Re: Aluminum v. Aluminium
Derived from the Latin ALUMEN for ALUM (Potassium aluminium sulphate). In 1761 French Chemist Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau proposed that ALUMINE for the base material of ALUM. De Morveau was instrumental in setting up a standardised system for chemical nomenclature and often collaborated with Antoine Lavoisier, who in 1787, suggested that ALUMINE was the oxide of a previously undiscovered metal.
In 1808 Sir Humphrey Davy proposed the name ALUMIUM for the metal. This rather unwieldy name was soon replaced by ALUMINUM and later the word ALUMINIUM was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists in order to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. By the mid-1800s both spellings were in use, indeed Charles Dickens commented at the time that he felt both names were too difficult for the masses to pronounce!
So the answer is: yes.

Ugh. there's a category in Jeapordy with Bobby Flay called Throwdown. Of course, I'm running the category. Bobby was awful.

Now that I've got a DVR, I've got Jeopardy on my season pass (both the noon reruns on GSN and the 3:30 first-run eps, which I've always missed on workdays due to the whole 3:30 thing), so I'm able to watch a full hour of Jeopardy back-to-back, without commercials! (I love my DVR.)
Anyway, I was kicking ass on yesterday's show! I even got one of the opera questions by guessing Grieg for the obviously Scandinavian opera composer question, since he's the only Scandinavian opera composer I know. (The rest of those opera questions were HARD!) I also guessed the EB White daily double in 3-letter words ("White said never to have a son born 18 years before this"), and the Final Jeopardy, even though it was a guess (I wasn't positive on the book's title).
