New report from the Iowa department of public health shows that 7% of 6 year olds suffer from lead poisoning, possibly because their
parents are feeding them too many Pb & J sandwiches

It's a joke/pun thingie.

PB = Peanut Butter

Pb (note the lower-case "b") = Chemical Symbol for Lead (from Latin Plumbum)

Ah ha. My Chemistry puns are somewhat oxidized. Please forgive me. (I do remember HIOAg, though.)

I try to reduce the number of science puns I make. People usually don't get'm.

On another note, there's a whole lotta disclaimerism going on moving into a lead-based paint home. Though I guess I can't be surprised people don't
read everything they are given or told to sign.

Me too. My chemistry teacher once told a joke about a railroad employee who was sentenced to the electric chair but wouldn't die. It turned
out that he was a bad conductor.
