Please re-check my answer. I think I brain farted and put Pr (Praseodymium) instead of the correct Pa. I chose Protactinium because it was my only stumper when I saw a list of nuclides a while back by symbol and couldn't match the name.
I also thought it was supposed to be a two letter symbol as well
Never mind - rereading the question the symbol was all that was required. Thank you Ursa for the "a".
I feel dirty.

Haha, it's all good. And I appreciate that everyone followed instructions and left out the chemical symbol. Extraneous information makes it harder to grade these things. Like [DROP] for DROP

You called me ’dog'—and for these courtesies
I’ll lend you thus much moneys?”

Give me both words missing from the title of the play reviewed here: Spoiler
“An exotic beast is stalking Broadway. No, I’m not referring specifically to the man-eating title character played by Robin Williams in “______ ______ at the Baghdad Zoo.” I’m talking about the play itself: Rajiv Joseph’s smart, savagely funny and visionary new work of American theater, whose presence on Broadway invites fanciful comparison to the titular beast. A Pulitzer Prize finalist last year, “________ ________” is like a majestic cat serenely striding through a litter of cute-as-can-be kittens ready for their YouTube close-ups.

Yes, something--ape-like about him, like one of those pictures I've seen in--anthropological studies!
