Speaking of Unobtanium, the other day I came across this article, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_115 ...'ununpentium'.  Using the 
naming scheme that they are for elements that haven't been assigned a 
'proper' name yet will clearly lead to one thing and one thing only: 
eventually, we will create unobtanium.

I think they did that on purpose.
