Get the Thallium mug.
A very toxic soft gray metallic chemical element with an atomic number of 81 and atomic symbol of Tl. It's sometimes used in things like electrical components and optical lenses.

Thallium is a chemical element with the symbol Tl and atomic number 81. It is a gray post-transition metal that is not found free in nature. When isolated, thallium resembles tin, but discolors when exposed to air. Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production.
