The chart refers to the nationality of the founder and Yttrium was found by a Finnish chemist Johan Gadolin in 1794. He found it in samples that were from the Ytterby village in Sweden, thus the name Yttrium.

Dammit, I thought that was just a really stunning cloud formation, then I read the owl comment and spat beer all over my laptop. Nice one.

It's feather dust.
Aren't owls always covered in layers of grease, so they don't make any noise?
Yeah, but don't owls cover it with some special shit?

Nope, oils have nothing to do with owls being silent.
[QUOTE]The most unique adaptation of Owl feathers is the comb-like or fimbriate (fringe-like) leading edge of the primary wing feathers referred to as "flutings" or "fimbriae". With a normal bird in flight, air rushes over the surface of the wing, creating turbulence, which makes a gushing noise. With an Owl's wing, the comb-like feather edge breaks down the turbulence into little groups called micro-turbulences. This effectively muffles the sound of the air rushing over the wing surface and allows the Owl to fly silently. There is also an alternate theory that the flutings actually shift the sound energy created by the wingbeats to a higher frequency spectrum, where most creatures (including prey and humans) cannot hear.[/QUOTE]

I always make sure to keep my owls well lubricated.

if anything the extra weight would make them louder.
the lack of noise is a result of feather patterns on their wings.
So pretty!
