Periodic Table Shower Curtain

So, Lithium is an element
with the atomic number 3...

Science has never been our strong point, but we know a good shower curtain when we see one. And this fascinating baby is one of the best as it depicts the periodic table in all its baffling glory. Yes, that periodic table - the one that shows various elements arranged in columns and rows according to their increasing atomic number. Or something like that.

Why anyone would want to check the atomic mass of molybdenum whilst fashioning their hair into a shampoo horn is beyond us, but showering seems to have a strange effect on some people, causing them to sing, beat their chest King Kong-styley and even pretend they're standing under a tropical waterfall with two loofah-wielding exotic maidens. Or is that just us?

Periodic Table Shower Curtain

Periodic Table Shower Curtain

Semi-transparent!

Particularly handy if you're revising for a science exam in the shower (well, you never know), the semi-transparent Periodic Table Shower Curtain is made from high quality 100% hand-screened EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate - but you already knew that), and makes bog-standard shower curtains look about as interesting as soap scum.

Truth be told, this info-packed bathroom accessory has completely reignited our interest in shower-based scientific studies. After all, where else can you observe Newton's law of gravity, disprove the Coriolis fallacy and double check the atomic number for copper just by dropping the soap, flushing the loo and staring at the shower curtain? Precisely.

Periodic Table Shower Curtain

Holes are ready made for
you to clip up the curtain!

An ideal gift for boffins, students and anyone else who enjoys a bit of tongue in cheek bathroom-based fun, the Periodic Table Shower Curtain is set to cause a splash (or not, as the case may be) in homes and student digs across the globe. So don't just stand around getting wetter and stupider; get ordering and wash and learn!

Dr Sheldon Cooper, Usa - 11th November 2011
Firebox says: Ta very much for your comment Dr Sheldon! And by 'Ta' we are of course referring to the element Tantalum, atomic number 73, and as you know, 73 is the 21st prime and its reverse 37 is the 12th prime, and..... well, I'm sure you know the rest of the story!
visitor avatar Will you do more TBBT merch like a Bazinga lunchbox?
Lloyd Davies, Port Talbot - 9th November 2011
Firebox says: Hi Lloyd, we're big fans here at Firebox too so we're definitely looking into it, but unfortunately there's not a lot available in the UK at the moment
visitor avatar This is REALLY going to help me remember the element song! (new years resolution).
Felix Obholzer, London - 7th June 2011
visitor avatar Sadly it's now out of date. I may have to resort to adding Copernicum and the vaguely designated Ununtritium through Ununoctium to mine with a sharpie.
Mazz, London - 11th January 2011
visitor avatar Unbelievably, i'm buying one of these for my 14 year old 'Big Bang Theory' addict son! He'll be *delighted* that for Christmas, amongst other things, he'll be able to shower using the identical curtain Sheldon & Leonard have!
Leatrix, North Wales - 24th November 2010
visitor avatar Thankyou FIREBOX!!! your delivery is second to none, I requested Saturday AM delivery & it arrived first thing Saturday morning & has to be THE BEST shower curtain in the world!!! Hopefully my 6 year will absorb all the info on it for use in later life!!! thank you again for been an awesome website!
Sarah Watson, Billingham - 15th May 2010
visitor avatar I just thought...ive put mine on back to front I can't read it when I am in the shower. Then again, maybe it's best to leave it where it is. . Where u can see it from your local toilet seat. .
Paul Hudson, Bishop Auckland - 11th October 2009
Firebox says: Maybe so, Paul. Maybe so.
visitor avatar Just wondering, did Sheldon of the big bang theory buy theirs of firebox lol?
Greig Durrant, Glasgow,scotland - 17th August 2009
Firebox says: Wouldn't it be amazing if he did?!
visitor avatar I would give this top marks for reminding me of my school days but was devastated by the fact it was written by a Yank, who cannot spell Metre or Litre! I could have used the Periodic Table Shower Curtain when I was studying for my O Level.
Tim W, Wantage - 15th January 2009
visitor avatar This curtain rocks! I decided to purchase this for a fellow teacher and friend. She decided to take an 8th grade science position and wanted a periodic table for her birthday. Well, when she received this she laughed and said she is going to display this on the wall!
