Ah, yes... playing with liquid Mercury when we were kids. Letting little balls of it roll around in our palms... marveling at its luster and its obvious weight even in small quantities. It's a pleasure of childhood that today's kids are not allowed. Children have been playing with liquid Mercury since the days of Ancient Egypt. The sons of the pharaohs all played with Mercury... And look what happened to them: they ended up marrying their sisters, and now they're all DEAD! Dead, dead, dead. Every last Ancient Egyptian who played with Mercury is DEAD. Let that be a lesson to you.
;)
Happy New Year, y'all!
