I hope they make it simply "J" so I can spell more words out of elements out of my friend's fridge magnets when I'm over at their place. It's important to consider those things.

Beautiful dog :)

[MrDebauch]

yeah I vote for them calling it nintendium

[iamjokerface]

yup you are correct

[TheNoiseySpectator]

hyaku-juusan . Help me out some more, please;

hyaku-juusan + ium = hyakujuusanium Is quite a mouthful.

It looks like it means one hundred (hyaku) - thirteen (juusan). Am I mistaken?

would hyakunium mean hundredium

and juusanium mean thirteenium?

[JokerLovesQM]

hyaku-juusan. sort of long lol

[TheNoiseySpectator]

Wait! What about Zinkybizmutium?

[TheNoiseySpectator]

What is the Japanese word for one hundred thirteen?

I think it should have a name rooted in the discoverer's word for 113.

[MrLebanman]

[m4ssee]

Because they don't concentrate on something so pointless like that.
