    What group of people are referred to as a Crow Eater?

    In the 1930's a group of people spelled together a 4-letter word in an original way. Back then, that this group spelled this word was not shocking. This group never spelled it again, and if they did it now it would be most shocking indeed. Four years later, another group of people spelled the exact same word in pretty much the same way as the first group, and to this day they spell this word, usually about once a week during the fall, and spelling this 4-letter word is not shocking to them at all. What's the word?

    Can anyone explain how the periodic table works? How is it possible that the vertical groups correspond almost exactly to the increasing atomic mass of the elements? For instance, the alkali metals (group 1), alkaline earth metals (group 2) and noble gases (group 8) all have very different properties, yet somehow, if they were all arranged in order by their atomic masses, you would find that they could be arranged in a clear pattern of Group 1, Group 2, Group 8, Group 1, Group 2, Group 8, and so on. Is it just coincidence, or is there a scientific explanation for this?
