      I have a few, but if I had to pick one I’d probably pick mercury since it’s a liquid at room temperature and it’s also much heavier than water, so it feels really weird to hold a bottle of it. It’s also much more dense than water, which means a lot of things will float on it that won’t float on water!

      I have always found mercury fascinating. It is extremely toxic but a very beautiful metal.
