COPPER

I have really come to enjoy metals of all kinds.

Copper, nickel, iron, zinc, aluminum, and whatever batteries are made out of.

You may be thinking, Mae, what a weird thing to enjoy. But I will say to you, no! It is a perfectly reasonable thing to enjoy. My enjoyment came about slowly, first with what batteries are made of because they feel weird when you stick them on your tongue. Then aluminum because of aluminum foil balls you make after you eat a baked potato. Then zinc, iron and nickel for the obvious reasons. Lastly copper.

Did you know that copper has a resounding history? When you think of copper you may only think of the copper pots and pans of today, but this is not so my friends. The copper pot you cook with is only the icing on the cake. In ancient Greece's alchemy,the symbol for copper was also the symbol for the goddess and planet Venus because of it's beauty and it's ability to produce mirrors. I'm telling you, people have been using copper for ages! We just recently started making copper pans because we wanted to be original and everything you think could have been done with copper already was. There are copper mines and copper doors and the ancient Aztecs fought sore throats by gargling copper mixtures. Weird, right? Go look up other cool things done with copper and amaze all of your friends!!!
