Ok, asking for some help here, thanks to anyone who helps in advance:

Im looking for suggestions of any solid (eg. iron, copper, gold, silver, slightly more remote things like Iridium, or can be something like Sodium Chloride) that has interesting physical properties, for instance, does it sink only in a certain liquid, or just has something quirky or unique about in in general, odd or humourous applications (but not obscene!) applications.

A slight odd ask I know, but serious suggestions would be most welcome from anyone willing to help in the search or knows one from their physics/chemistry.

Cheers

Yeah, they're so reactive.

Not like those damn Group 8 gases.
They always look down their nose at you from their high and mighty horses.

Just cause they're noble.

Someone should shove a dick in their fase and see how they like it.

Well if i find a particularly pleasant specimen i can save myself a few herbal infusions by suspending their animation permanently, in conjunction with refrigeration i can have quite a shin dig.

You would also HAVE to mention mercury and the fact that it makes a great lube for a strap on.

I was about to say "pfffft, caesium would explode on contact with the moisture in the air", but you said calcium.

:-(

It's a shame there's no solid calcium in milk.

:(

Heh, hasn't everyone?

Actually, I've dreamt of throwing it in a pool of ph 1 highly concentrated acid.

Magnesium powder and an open flame go hand in hand.

Fluorine is very interesting when reacted with one's face.

It never gets dull, the video i saw still blows me away. Once i stole some calcium from school and the sweat from my fingers triggered the reaction and it started to burn my hand.

The joys.
