There is a chemical element called Bromine. It is one of only two elements that are liquid at room temperature (Mercury being the other). It is from the same group of elements as chlorine and fluorine.
None of this is that interesting. The really interesting thing is that the word "Bromine" comes from the ancient Greek for "Stench of he-goats"...

Perhaps they should have called sulfur "bromine". After working with 2-mercaptoethanol today, I strongly believe "stench of the he-goats" is much more appropriate for sulfur compounds.
Eww! Nasty stuff!
When did you two start to sniff 'he-goats'.....that's just disturbing!
