5 THINGS THAT AREN'T MADE OUT OF TUNGSTEN

Tungsten! It's everyone's favourite metal! But did you know that not everything on earth is made out of tungsten? Incredible isn't it? In fact, tungsten is a rare metal, and found naturally on earth only in certain chemical compounds.

So it's time to sweep aside everything you thought you knew about tungsten, and get ready to have your whole world shaken by this incredible rundown of the Top 5 Things That Aren't Made Out of Tungsten...!

5. TONGUES

Forget what you've heard - tongues are NOT made out of tungsten. In fact, tongues are made out of muscle and meat and nerves and body stuff. To date, not a single tongue has ever been made out of tungsten, as far as we know. This is because tungsten would be a wholly unsuitable material to use for a body part designed to be used for tasting, licking, swallowing, and saying "chuff".
4. MAO TSE-TUNG

Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-Tung may have liked to spread the rumour that he was made out of tungsten, but it was merely propaganda; he just thought it made him appear more powerful if people thought he was some sort of tungsten metal man. Like most people, Chairman Mao was simply made out of guts and bones and flesh and hair. 
3. TUNG OIL TREES

We don't really know what tung oil trees are, but we doubt they're made out of tungsten. Most trees are made out of wood and leaves. If a tree was to be made out of tungsten, you wouldn't be able to chop it down to make a table, or baton.
2. TONGS

Now this is a confusing one, because some tongs are made out of metal... but that metal isn't tungsten. Crazy, right? We don't know what the metal actually is - probably tin, or something. Or steel, or iron. We've even seen some wooden tongs, which definitely don't contain tungsten. Anyway... next time somebody asks you if a pair of tongs are made out of tungsten, you can confidently stare into their eyes, and bellow "NO! THESE TONGS ARE NOT MADE OUT OF TUNGSTEN!".
1. TRUNKS

There are three different types of trunks - elephant trunks, trunks that men wear to go swimming, and trunks that you put things in. Incredibly, none of these trunks contain any tungsten whatsoever. That said, we suppose you could put some tungsten in all three of them... although it might cause the elephant some discomfort, so it might be best to administer a local anaesthetic first. And we've just thought of a fourth type of trunk: a tree trunk. And a trunk road. Neither of which are tungsten.

I need more than a Top 5 to prove everything isn't made of tungsten. This just makes me suspicious everything IS made of tungsten, almost like a religious conspiracy.
