I'd dearly love to see them name one of these elements, "Eludium".

Unobtainium is found as a trace element in Leaverite. Leaverite was found at the bottom of a 15,000 foot exploration bore conducted by Amoco Corporation in eastern Iowa in 1975.

Yes. Unobtainium will have a number that's even higher than Improbabilium! ;^)
