From The Elements (22Oct97) [elements]:
   thallium
   Symbol: Tl
   Atomic number: 81
   Atomic weight: 204.3833
   Pure, unreacted thallium appears silvery-white and exhibits a metallic
   lustre. Upon reacting with air, it begins to turn bluish-grey and looks
   like lead. It is very malleable, and can be cut with a knife. There are
   two stable isotopes, and four radioisotopes, Tl-204 being the most stable
   with a half-life of 3.78 years. Thallium sulphate was used as a rodenticide.
   Thallium sulphine's conductivity changes with exposure to infrared light,
   this gives it a use in infrared detectors. Discovered by Sir William Crookes
   via spectroscopy. Its name comes from the Greek word thallos, which means
   green twig. Thallium and its compounds are toxic and can cause cancer.
