Hello, I noticed we don't seem to have a topic like this so I thought to add it.

This topic will be about all the weird and wonderful aspects of our little blue planet. Everything from history to geography, medicine to psychology, urban myths and legends; this will be the place where our members can share anything that they have found or studied that may be of interest to others.

I would start with what I have been looking at recently but I will write about that when I have had a good nights sleep.  {;)

If anyone wishes to start then do feel free to add anything of interest.  {:)

Sulfur Hexafluoride. A gas that is 6x more denser than air and has the reverse effect of helium when inhaled.

Considering the components, I'd assume it's also poisonous, highly corrosive, or both?

When in doubt, to Wikipedia!

Like helium, sulfur hexafluoride is a non-toxic gas, yet by displacing oxygen in the lungs, it also carries the risk of asphyxia.

Also, considering the components alone you could easily surmise calcium chloride (aka salt) is quite poisonous and reactive ;)

That's some salt.

Revivification! *sips his tea*

It is - just not your regular table/kitchen salt. {:)
