Rumors (which are most definitely NOT true)
Around 1923, people seemed to think I could make them live longer! This was surprising, seeing as I'm a carcinogen. I don't know how many people could have been killed if they had actually kept me in the drinking water. That was one of the reasons I was really excited to stop people from dying of cancer. Until my job was STOLEN. . . (see rant on friends page).
I used to be used to be FAMOUS for my luminescence, my ability to glow in the dark, but then they realized how dangerous it was. Still, it was pretty cool to have my own company- the United States Radium Corporation!
I know I dissolve in water, but no, the Wicked Witch of the West was NOT made of radium!
