Breaking news! People are going missing from a cruise that never came back. Strontium,
used for signal flares, along with other alkaline earth metals, or groups two on the periodic
table, are slowly disappearing from earth. Alkaline earth metals include Beryllium, Magnesium,
Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium. They are shiny metals with two valence electrons,
a high radioactivity, and high melting point. Its a great day for cancer patients. Scientists
have found a new way to treat cancer patients by using radium. Barium is also used to better
health, being used for x-rays and CAT scans. So Magnesium is almost gone from this earth.
Magnesium is in healthy foods such as spinach, nuts, seeds and whole grains. In short, we
would have health nuts going mentally insane. Its also a key component in cells in general,
bones and tissue and just about every physiological thing that you could think of. Magnesium is
an element in chlorophyll. It causes plants to be able to convert light into energy, commonly
known as photosynthesis. So we won't exactly have life on this earth without Magnesium.
People are going mentally insane due to the lack of communication and entertainment. Beryllium,
found in computers and cell phones is slowly missing from the earth. In other breaking
news, its literally breaking because your bones are breaking due to the lack of Calcium,
which is important to grow strong and healthy bones and teeth. Without Calcium, we wouldn't
have bones and would look like giant jelly blobs. Not to mention, it would be extremely
difficult- if not impossible- to move any part of our bodies. Also, we wouldn't have
great, awesome, wonderful, amazing, superior, fantastic, magical, musical food suck as milk,
yogurt, cheese, nuts, and also raisin bran and corn flakes would taste terrible and there
would be no OJ. In conclusion, life without Calcium would suck. This just in, there has
been a terrible mishap in the lab, and one of our famous chemist has tragically died.
His funeral will be in two days and we will Barium.
