As you can see, lead, the wonder element, is a sensational buy! Wondering how you can get in on the lead-frenzy? Aren't we all? Well don't worry, we'll tell you, but first, check out a few of the many uses of Lead, the element of our lives.

Lead is REALLY DENSE: Lead is so dense in fact, that even most waves can not penetrate its dense solidity. This means that it keeps radiation and unwanted noise out, so you can sing Christmas carols right on through the nuclear winter without distraction.

We use Lead EVERY DAY: Lead is not only used as shielding, but to make Lead-acid batteries. This may not sound useful, but almost every modern car in the world uses a lead-acid battery to supply its electrical systems!

Done with your lead? Don't worry, we can make more!: Three quarters of all lead products are recyclable, and over two and a half million metric tonnes of lead are produced via secondary sources a year! This requires less time and energy than getting new lead, and conserves our planet's natural stores of lead, and we all know how important that is!! J

Lead Lead Everywhere, and not a drop to drink: That's right, even though lead is very soft and melts easily, you wouldn't want to drink it, no sir! Even though lead is everywhere, in leaden batteries, lead sheets, pipes and cable sheathes, leaden weights, wool and powders, lead plating, lead alloys and a variety of lead compounds, lead can still kill people a number of different ways. One way in which lead could easily exterminate humanity is by crushing us all—this is possible because as we know, lead is very dense, this means a small quantity of it is still quite heavy. Additionally, should lead enter a person's body, it would likely poison them to death unless they sought medical attention. Humanity recognizes these dangers, but on the grand scale of Usefulness vs. Risk, we know where lead is heavier, every time!
