Preface To Nickel: Nickel Factz

(image from the Wikipedia)

Fuck yeah the Nickel Institute tells us:

Nickel is a metallic element with a silvery-white, shiny appearance. It is the fifth-most common element on earth & occurs extensively in the earth's crust & core. Nickel, along with iron, is also a common element in meteorites. Nickel occurs naturally in soil & water. It is also an essential nutrient for plants. 

It continues:

While the concentration of nickel in the earth's crust is 80 parts per million, the earth's core consists mainly of a nickel-iron alloy.
Then it adds in all caps:

NICKEL IS THE FIFTH-MOST COMMON ELEMENT ON EARTH

Holy shit. Okay, I'll do a radio show about it all right?

Damn.
