So which way would you face the curtain when you hang it? Do you make it readable from the outside of the tub, or inside? I think I would make it so I could read it from inside the tub, so I have something to read while showering. (And thus, still read it in the mirror when brushing my teeth.)
Very cool - we're moving soon and this will be great for the kid's shower.
It's interesting to look at the reviews. 3 of the 6 are from parents that bought it for their daughters in college and another is by 'Curie Girl'. Obviously the reviews don't have any statistical validity, but it is great to see that there are girls/women who're into science (but, part of this is probably just me getting old and not realizing that this is more the norm then it was when I was in college).
"So which way would you face the curtain when you hang it?"
I would hang it facing out and hopefully it is printed on a clear vinyl so I can look out and read it in the big mirror on the opposing wall of my bathroom.
Noting like touching yourself among the noble gases.
Besides, the PowerPuff Girls curtain that previously did duty has to be replaced.
This item is exactly why I read your blog. I mean, i love steampunk gadgets, daleks, and flowcharts the same as any other rational person, but periodic table shower curtains are just the cat's meow.
thinkgeek.com has one as well (29.99, plus shipping).

I can't tell if it's the same one or not.
Aperture Science on line one - they want their historical exhibits back.
This is almost, but not entirely, as nerdy as my glow in the dark periodic table of the elements shirt.
