I'd say that neon is the most fabulous element.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Beccarium, also known as Valkyrium.

It's rare. Some would say unique.

But it's good for your heart unless it's in its natural, bare, state.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Yeah.

HR tends to frown on that sort of thing.

Remember, surgery clothed, hacking people to death: naked.

I also note that one of my favorite pastimes, nuking something from orbit, is not possible without uranium.

It can be done with hydrogen as well as with plutonium. Quite possibly even thorium as well.

Stole my thunder - I was about to extol the virtues of Borudium.

Since that's out, I pick astatine because: it's so radioactive, that any sizeable sample of it would quickly be vapourized by its own heat; no one knows what it looks like (it might be black, then again, it might not be); a 10cm cube of it would immediately turn into a column of superheated gas; and the material safety data sheet for astatine (if there was one ((there isn't)) ) would be the word 'NO', scrawled over and over in charred blood.

A slut "but" with a heart of gold? How about a slut and with a heart of gold.

Sluts are awesome! Big Grin

You mean a buckminterfullerene with a heart of gold?
