  It's really funny because my dad (a chemical engineer) had a hobby interest in cosmology. He used to go nuts about people calling produce "organic" and would love to point out that all produce is organic in the sense that it all is made of carbon-based molecules. Yet on the other had no problem with the fact that cosmologists call just about everything in the whole periodic table a metal.
