    The Disappearing Spoon

    I'm currently reading "The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements" by Jack Kean, which discusses fun and interesting things in the history of chemistry and the periodic table.

    The meaning of the title can be witnessed in this video...pretty cool:

    Gallium is expensive, but damn, would it be cool to have enough to make a spoon like that.
