Yeah, I've seen the flash. You can also see one here http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html
No idea if it's identical, better, worse, etc.

My only complaint is that I believe that about a dozen elements have been discovered since, so they can't be included.

I've been told that the Harvard/discovered rhyme is actually okay, if you have an accent from a particular place. I've heard much worse. In fact, Dave Barry once made a point that in a song someone actually did a world/good rhyme, and that if he were God he'd never let anyone get into heaven who'd try a rhyme like that. I can't help but agree with world/good, but Harvard/"discovearde" is borderline. Maybe just a hundred years of purgatory.
