HIya folks,
	I am another luker qith a question on this topic that may want to 
be considered.  Actually a few question with respect to commonalities in 
the increase ATOMIC number.

	1) Ionization Energy decrease as the Atomic Number increases.
( does not deal to much with nobel gasses though but it does to some degree)

	2) as is know Nitrous Oxide is an anasthetic used today, which in 
effect is Nitrogen by reaction with co-enzyme vitimain B12, which as 
anaesthesiologists would say is accounting for some of the narcotic 
effect.   The bacterio in the lumen of the intestine do digest nitrous 
oxide, and it may be a good starting point from a pharmakokinetic point 
of view, because as divers when subjected to incresae partiel pressures, 
we do infact simulate the effects of nitrous oxide.

	3) although the blood level and effects therein have been beat to 
death what about the cerebro spinal fluid and effects on.  It has been 
found that nitrous oxide (which I refered to earlier at depth is coherent 
to N2) facilitates CSF reabsorption which intern increases the 
intracranial compliance significantly.  This is compencated for in some 
part as a result of the neuroendocrine system's response to stree by  
altering the release of CSF production causing constriction of dialation 
of the choroid plexus.

	Does any of these little quirks make sense?  If so please 
investigate as I know I will and if not well tell me to go back into my 
cubby hole.  heheh.  Hope it helps and I look forward to more stuff.
