Things go better with Lithium (batteries).

My son is doing Group 1 metals in Chemistry at the moment. He told me why the heavier ones are more reactive, which I hadn't realised before. At least I think that's what he said.

Anyway, Lithium is the lightest, so wouldn't arsebum or whatever it's called blow your head off if you whisper boo to it?

Your son is right. A Cesium battery would be brill!

To the tune of London's Burning:

Caesium's burning! Caesium's burning!
Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire!
Pour on water!
Ooooh tulip.

Very good, but I can't get the tune of 'London's Calling' out of my head when I read it.

Is Francium the heaviest? With the added bonus of being radioactive as well?

That's just phoney Beatlemania biting the dust.

Yep. Yep. A half life of 22 minutes, so between placing the order and getting delivery, there wont be much left.
