something ongoing.

Titanium and Oxygen for a radical way of looking at things.

Additional Information:

I didn't "cheat" (honest!) -- well, maybe once, to come up with
"microscope" -- because I enjoy solving anagrams, but there are
websites that allow you to enter a series of letters and get a list of
words that can be spelled with them.  Here's a link to one of them:

Wordsmith.org
http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=cmporesico 


Search Strategy:

First I found this list of the chemical elements, conveniently
alphabetized and scrollable on one page:

University of British Columbia: Elements Listed By Name
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/nph-pertab/tab/list/byname

I came up with all of the answers without help, except for
"microscope" (see above) and "Tiberius,"  which I discovered was
Captain Kirk's middle name using this Google search:

"captain jim" "middle name"
://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2004-01%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=%22captain+jim%22+%22middle+name%22


I am confident that this is exactly the information you are seeking,
and I am happy to be able to give you a reasonably prompt answer,
considering that I chose to do it "the hard way."  If anything is
unclear, please ask for clarification before rating the answer.
