Move your mouse over any element in the table to learn more about it. The Haiku field will have either a 'Y' or an 'N' to indicate if that element has a haiku associated with it. Click on the element to open a pop-up window and read the haiku. For ease of use, a "flattened" table of all elements is below the periodic Table. You can click on an element name there to view the haiku associated with it there as well. Additionally, there is a link for browsers that do not support javascript for the pop-up window [This is just rad - Nano] Haiku Periodic Table |

Apparently there is a petition to save Clone High. Canceling this would be a shame. However, online petitions aren't a very effective tool, and of course we've seen Farscape fans raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and not gotten anywhere.
