This thread is heading to a dark, dark place.

As I understand it, this thread is about a dark, dark place.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

Do you know how many times I saw this thread title, and read it as "rental capacity"??

But anyway, when DID they invent aluminum? 

Pure aluminum was first produced in 1825.

Research says the first impure aluminum was first produced in 1825.

At first it was more valuable than gold.  I seem to remember some founding father having a set of flatware made out of it - it was considered 'more posh' than gold, but the timeline wouldn't really support that.

I have heard that the Wash. monument is capped with aluminum, due to its rarity at the time.  I've never bothered to look into it.

That is indeed the case.  I found it while researching.  At the time an ounce of it was worth more than a day of a worker's time.

Indeed, it's been told that at the time aluminum had about the same value as silver.
