22Ti

My dentist talked about me needing "Zirconium crowns".

I mistakenly thought that was a reference to "Cubic zirconia" (fake diamonds).

I figured if he was going to put fake diamonds in my mouth, we might as well go all out with titanium teeth. You know, because titanium is cool, but is a little less flashy than diamonds.

So I mentioned as much.

His response?

"You're hilarious!"

I wasn't kidding.

*22Ti (Wikipedia )

The science behind this: titanium is element number 22, hence the title. And zirconia crowns turn out to be made of the same compound as cubic zirconia, so I wasn't entirely wrong.
