X....
Damn it, it's my turn and I can't even find a weather phenomenon with the letter X <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Ok, I got a helping hand from an elf and he wispered me this into my little elven ear <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

X-RAYS
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a very short wave length. It has a wave length longer than gamma rays, yet shorter than visible light. X-rays can penetrate various thicknesses of all solids, and when absorbed by a gas, can result in ionization. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> (I'm not the geek here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )
