Good one.
But I don't think that's the "lithium" Nirvana was referring to . . .

Now, I don't know a damn thing about Nirvana, but I've taken a couple of chem classes...what's the other lithium?
A favourite element is hard to pick. I always thought the transition metals were pretty sexy. But I tell you my least favourite: iodine. Hands down, iodine is the worst element ever. Who the hell invented that stuff?

'Cause i found God
Yeah, yeah, yeah (x6)

I'm so lonely, that's okay, i shaved my head
And i'm not sad
And just maybe i'm to blame for all i've heard
But i'm not sure
I'm so excited, i can't wait to meet you there
And i don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay my will is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah (x6)
Yeah!

I'm kind of partial to Oxygen and Hydrogen. Carbon, too. If you set aside all the elements we need to live, Gold is right up there on top. Platinum doesn't seem to have much of a market.

Before I get jumped on by the chemists, you are correct. Lithium is used in Lithium Carbonate, which is to what Nirvana was referring (see my post above).
I'll go take more of my medication now.
Ununoctium. I heard that one was taken off the periodic table.

Cesium. Because if I get ahold of 6 tonnes of it and dump it in the water supply...
In high school chemistry class, a friend of mine on a tested guessed "Ca" was Canadium (named after Canada, of course) and "Si" was Sports Illustrated. So those are my favorites. Canadium and Sports Illustrated. *nods*

Helium. It's stoic - no matter what happens, it doesn't react. :p
I like tungsten for it's highest melting point of all metals and overall durability.
