Did you know that the element Lead's symbol Pb is an abbreviation of its Latin name plumbum. The English words "plumbing", "plumber", and "plumb-bob" also derive from this Latin root. Thus the infamous phrase: "I suggest that the crime was committed in the library by Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe."
As a licensed plumbing contractor who also taught high school Latin in a previous life, I especially appreciate your post. Though, I'd imagine, few others besides you and I would.
