Below is a set of articles I am working on, as well as other weird things.

Alkali metals

People always wonder where these metals even reside on the periodic table. Had they been more social, an image like this wouldn't have been required.

“They're literally worse versions of my group. I thought we were overreactive.”

~ Calcium on the alkali metals

“I'd imagine they'd be hidden around an abandoned facility in Nevada. That's how antisocial they are.”

~ Protactinium on the alkali metals

In chemistry, the alkali metals are a set of socially unstable metals who would do anything to not stay in their so-called "ugly" form. The noble gases are the only elements on the far right of the periodic table who don't want to give into the alkali metals' tendencies of reacting. However, they don't care about anything, so this is expected.

Common properties

The alkali metals, being in a group, also have common properties. Apart from their antisocialness, they...

• ...hate water.
• ...oxidize extremely quickly to create a safe shield for them to stay relaxed.

Chemical element

In chemistry, a chemical element is a substance that is guaranteed to be found on the periodic table, hence why people who want to be smart extend the name to "periodic table of the chemical elements." These are not to be confused with elements found on the idiotic table, as chemical elements are what make idiotic table elements.

Discovery

For a long time, it was believed that idiotic elements were the smallest unit of matter. Beer, cheese, wood, and many other materials seemed to be in their simplest form. Therefore, they were called "chemical elements." Ernest Rutherford called this idea "idiotic" and proposed that cheesium was really made up of a bunch of smaller "compounds." He also proposed that these compounds weren't the smallest form of matter, either, boiling it all down to "true chemical elements." This is the first time the idiotic elements were ever called "idiotic."

Mercury (element)

Mercury can be quite the playful substance if you get it just right.

Mercury is a chemical element; it has chemical symbol Qs (from quicksteel, its alternative name) and atomic number 80. Most of the planet is made up of this metal, giving it its gray color. Mercury is one of six chemical elements to be liquid at or close to room temperature, the others being bromine, gallium, water, beer (not to be confused with urine), and caesium.

Mercury used to be called hydrargyrum, from Greek hydrar (water) and gyrum (gyroscope), but no one wanted to associate mercury with water after the mercury pollution crisis of 1812. Mercury was chosen as the new name, beating secondary name quicksteel, because it was simply quick, like the planet of the same name. That planet's name is a whole other can of worms, however.

Properties

This sodium has been mixed with potassium, however it is quite easy to believe that the potassium is actually mercury.

Mercury has perplexed the minds of even the greatest of scientists for its sheer willingness to, in the quotes of the famous Albert Einstein, "absolutely fucking HATE solids." Any time it comes in contact with a solid that is not silica gel, it converts the solid to a liquid, gas, or sometimes plasma to feel pleased. The mood of any amount of mercury at a certain point in time can be calculated by the Kelvin scale (abbreviated K). It is named after some guy named Melvin, who the other scientists felt was pretty moody all the time. However, to make things cool, they replaced the M with a K because "K is cooler". 0 K means absolutely no moodiness is detected, which is only theoretically possible. However, there is no upper limit to the scale, as mercury can never reach maximum anger.

However, making mercury moody is what creates its chemistry. The International Union of Pure, Applied, and Ignored Chemistry (IUPAIC), the main foundation for all of the chemistry that arises from bleach and baby powder, lists one of its primary objectives as having every single reaction that can take place between mercury and any other substance. For example, when sodium is mixed into mercury, nothing happens unless water is dropped on to the mixture, in which case the entire lab will remain perfectly fine and absolutely not explode due to unforseen circumstances. Mixing phosphorus with mercury will keep everything very, VERY ruined and oh so far from perfectly intact with no problems whatsoever.

Natural numbers

The natural numbers are the numbers which people first think of when counting. It starts at one and goes up in intervals of one. Out of all numbering systems, it's the only one to have won the title of "best one to feature one as number one."

One: How to find natural numbers

One way to find natural numbers is to look at your fingers. There are 10 of them, 11 on a good day. Either way, there is never a "half finger." Therefore, decimals don't exist. The only way to get to 10 fingers is to start at 1, which makes sense since having a 0th finger would tear apart the spacetime continuum.
