Interesting site from the University of Nottingham.  They do a short video on every single element.  I haven't watched all of them yet but the ones I have watched were interesting.

Did you watch the one about Mercury? Who would want to take it, and what the hell would you do with it when you got it home?

Cesium is an awesome metal. Liquid at 27C. Melts with body heat, and very, very reactive.

Yes Cesium is a wonderful gold color, but I love the way he strokes that ampule  makes me hot for Cesium.

Yes, yes it is.  In chem lab this past year one of the students broke a mercury thermometer.  Luckily it fell into a beaker.  That shit was absolutely memorizing.  You know what else is fun?  Playing with dry ice.

Small amounts are fun to play with, I have a small amount in glass that came out of our old thermostat. It really is quite memorizing.

Hell yes!!  I get to play with it every once in awhile at work. (I have to check the shipments of CO₂ when they come in).  It's fun to put some in a bottle with a tiny bit of water and then watch it explode.

Just now watched the Sodium video.  Hilarious!  They enjoyed playing with it a little too much.

*note to self: don't piss off the chemists*
They can blow you up...

You can get dry ice at most any ice cream store... Liquid nitrogen at any welding supplies place.

They actually took a trip to the Ytterby quarry in Sweden to see where yttrium (Y), ytterbium (Yb), terbium (Tb), erbium (Er), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), and thulium (Tm) were all first discovered.
