Tbh, I think I'd much prefer to try my luck licking Mercury rather than Uranium
I'd go with the uranium cause it's a rock and not liquid at room temperature, you're gonna get exposed to more liquid when you lick it than a rock
The thing about elemental mercury though is that it doesn't wet things like water or other liquid metals like Gallium do. The surface tension is so strong that virtually none of it is going to end up staying on your tongue
Unrefined Uranium is unradioactive enough that just licking it probably wouldn't do lasting damage
