Smile for Christmas.

[Graham Samuel]

Pretty much OT, but Davy was a really interesting man: look him up in Wikipedia. Before I read that article, all I knew about him was the clerihew:

Sir Humphry Davy
Abominated gravy
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered Sodium

Compliments of the season to all.
