The meaning of Chon.

"CHON is an mnemonic acronym for the four most common elements in living organisms: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These four elements are also notable for being the least massive (and having the lowest atomic number) in their group in the periodic table."

I was told it had roots in the Korean language. I'm going to have to tell my parents that we are in fact molecular, not Korean.

Congratulations Dad!

It was probably several years ago when poker started to get popular on ESPN when my father really took a liking to Texas Hold'em. Turns out he's got some skills.

Today he entered a $5 tournament on Poker Stars. Five hours later, he beat out the entire field and won a seat at his first legitimate poker tournament, the European Poker Tour German Open. Poker Stars will fly him out at the end of the month, put him up at a hotel for the week, give him some spending cash, and cover his $7,700 euro entry fee. Not too bad for $5 and five hours work.

Good luck Dad! Bring home $1,000,000!
