I haven't been able to decide... it's a bit of a 3 way tie between titanium, beryllium, and berkelium.

Rubidium. What can be more metal than reacting explosively with water?

Lead, because nothing is heavier, except maybe uranium, or plutonium...

I prefer gold, I'm an expensive beech (best wood for metal?)

It's gotta be ferrous, or it's not REALLY metal. I don't trust metal that don't rust! (sung to the tune of "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing)

Obvious answer is obvious, British Steel.

Or maybe graphite from the #2 pencil I wanna put in my ear every time I see these jokes. Its not funny anymore. If it ever was in the first place is undecided.
