Love molten iodine, the heavy liquid feeling reminds me of mercury. But hate bromine, becuase I get pneumonia every time I 'm around it, even just when I smell it faintly I know that I'll be coughing blood later on. The bugger (bromine) is really hard to keep locked up too, easily passing through Teflon and PP plastic with only glassware reliably containing it. Additionally I find the smell unpleasant, not like the iodine which I just love in small concentrations.



Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
