That would be so much easier to memorize.
As you can see if you look at the timeline of the Big Bang, that's about right that half an hour after the big bang, the only elements would have been hydrogen (75% of the universe's mass), helium (25%), lithium (trace amounts), and radioactive beryllium.
Of course, I'm not sure what this periodic table could've been printed on - or by whom, but that's not the point.
The rollover joke - Researchers claim to have synthesized six additional elements in the second row, temporarily named 'pentium' through 'unnilium'. - is also outstanding.
