I guess I could be neon - I'm so stubborn I don't listen to anyone - and if I make a decision it's absolutely impossible for anyone, even me, to change it. I bet even a magician, a psychologist, or even a guy awesome at negotiating or persuading couldn't do anything.

Hydrogen should be represented by a crowd of skinny people rather than being fat. Uranium is fat but not for long, depending on the isotope.
