Trivia: Newer chemical elements

I could post a raft of information just from things I learn from the latest edition of Chicago Manual of Style. Here are the chemical elements that have been discovered since I took chemistry in high school:

104–Rf–rutherfordium
105–Db–dubnium
106–Sg–seaborgium
107–Bh–bohrium
108–Hs–hassium
109–Mt–meitnerium
110–Ds–darmstadtium
111–Rg–roentgenium
112–Uub–ununbium
113–Uut–ununtrium
114–Uuq–ununquadium

and so on up to one-one-eight-ium, until elements 112-118 receive names.
