Iodine is a salty element that mostly everyone eats every now and then, discovered in the Roman times, likely. Well, I guess the Indians and Pakistanis have their salt mines so possibly before the Romans.
Properties[edit | edit source]
Iodine is an occasionally gray and other times white rock found in nearly every corner of the world, from Belgium to Australia and India to America. It's atomic number is 53, nobody even melts their salt, so nobody knows the melting point, while the boiling point was accidentally discovered in California's Death Valley at about 300 Fahrenheit. It has one isotope, tastes like salt, and is usually edible when mixed with artificial salt and in natural salt. It looks like metal but really isn't, instead a halogen according to the world's experts, but what do they know, its very molecular structure? Anyways, it has been used as an ingredient in salt, as mentioned quite a bit, basically since forever and ever because of the Indians having a lot of salt and living a real long time.

History[edit | edit source]
The history of Iodine is not all that complex. To sum it up, here's a timeline table thing.
- Prehistory: Mined by Cavemen and Indians from the Indian subcontinent.
- Antiquity: Still mined but this time mined more and by Indians. No cavemen.
- Middle Ages: Same thing as antiquity.
- 1700s to 1947: Mined by the British and Indians (more so British)
- 1947+: Mined everywhere and by everyone, and now the Pakistani have pink salt that idiots like. Because they're idiots.
Anger Issues[edit | edit source]
Since Iodine is a major ingredient in salt, it is very salty. Historically, consuming it has resulted in many wars during the Middle Ages because of the salty-inducing nature of Iodine as an element. It has been banned in numerous European nations for their leaders' consumption because of the intense salty-inducing properties of Iodine risk breaking apart entire alliances (such as NATO, the EU, and historically the Warsaw Pact) of border disputes of who owns the tumbleweed on the Australian Austrian-Italian border. This is obviously the REAL reason that Nixon resigned, as he had some Iodine the other day and was mad that he was ugly. This concludes Uncylopedia's shitty entry on Iodine.
Make sure you memorize these for the test!
*Technically an atom of Cheesium has an atomic number of four (4), but that's only for the idiotic table.
