Scientists have successfully created a new super-heavy chemical element

They have permission to list it in the periodic table, but it still needs a name.
As its a super-heavy element, it needs a name to reflect that.
So I guess Burgerium, Macdonaldium, Obesium are possibilities. Americium is already taken! Anorexium probably isn't suitable.
I was wondering what suggestions orgers may have?

The best one I've heard is governmentium (http://www.dullmen.com/governmentium.htm), although that's supposed to be a lot heavier than element 112's mass of 277. :lol:
Just heard scientists have found a chemical that can eat its way through anything, they just cant find anything to keep it in.

It's heavy. It's a metal. It's black and it's not for the weak minded.
It has to be named metalattakk!
Finally has a name, It will be called "copernicium", with the symbol Cp, in honour of the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus..

Thanks Bekisman, I'd missed that.
I'm sure there's a joke about metallic underwear in there somewhere.......
