1. Hasbro -- Toys
   Hasbro closed out the decade and century with a number of successful lines. In 1998, one of the decade's most popular and innovative toys was introduced. FURBY, a cuddly animatronic pet with a very spunky "personality," had children begging their parents for one during the holiday season. Furby was a true craze with adults waiting in line as new shipments were delivered! More than 40 million FURBY toys were sold in three years!

3. Tamagotchi -- Pets
   The curse of all teachers, with kids having to care for their pets around the clock (even during school), Tamagotchi were a short lived craze and by 1998 had virtually disappeared from the UK market. Several feeble attempts were made at reviving the craze, by introducing Virtual Angels, Virtual Aliens and even Virtual Kittens, but these were to proove too much for the fickle UK consumers. Tamagotchi were withdrawn from stock by January 1999, although they can still be found on occasions when hunting through "bargain bins" in the high street.
4. Dmitri Mendeleev
   Dmitri Mendeleev was an irascible Russian chemist most famous for his work in developing the periodic table of elements. He was the youngest of 17 children and after studying to become a teacher, he took an advanced degree in chemistry in 1857. Mendeleev began his work on the periodic table in 1869 while writing a textbook. It was in this book that he began grouping elements in an ascending order according to their atomic weight (essentially relative atomic mass), noticing that chemically similar elements tended to fall into similar columns. Initially not all of the 63 known elements would fit into Mendeleev's table, and so he altered the atomic weights of indium and beryllium so that they would fit (their initial weights were somewhat inaccurate). In 1871 Mendeleev published a revised table, which ... included gaps for elements that had yet to be discovered.
