With my limited knowledge of science, I'll say FACT - only because I don't know of any other metals that are liquid.

They're missing some important words, notably "at room temperature". All metals are liquid at some temperature, Mercury is "odd" in that it's melting point is -38 (F or C!).

CRAP - Gallium will melt if held in your hand, and caesium and francium can also be liquid at or near room temperature. Hard to believe.
