  Tangent: we printed these t-shirts in undergrad that said "You know you're a geologist when you can say with a straight face: have you tried licking it?"
  
  Are there many rocks declared "hazardous- do not lick"? Beyond maybe lava?
  
  Are there any dangerous ones? Like, "this is either slate or megamurderstone. You can tell the difference because the latter tastes more tangy and then you melt from the inside"?
  
  Reminds me of this video.
- I would also say sodium chloride is not terrible for your body at all. Literally required for almost every cellular function

I have a similar reaction to being asked for H₂O.
- what if i wanna drink some distilled water tho
