The Nerdiest / Most Gangster Yearbook Quote Ever



Jessica Lee wins. She wins everything. Drawing on her knowledge of the periodic table, the graduating high school senior's parting words of wisdom -- published under her photo in the Garfield High School yearbook -- appear to be a nerdy recitation of elements. But wait. Look a little closer, and you'll see a coded message inspired by the lyrical stylings of none other than the Notorious B.I.G.:

"Flourine uranium carbon potassium bismuth technetium helium sulfur germanium thulium oxygen neon yttrium"
Before you go pulling out a chemistry textbook, here are the elements with their symbols:
(F) flourine (U) uranium (C) carbon (K) potassium (Bi) bismuth (Tc) technetium (He) helium (S) sulfur (Ge) germanium (Tm) thulium (O) oxygen (Ne) neon (Y) yttrium
