Mercury's not your run-of-the-mill "silvery metal", folks. This mamma-jamma is liquid, mah-fah! But, watch out! You might think mercury be all pretty n' shit, telling you what time it is, temperature wise, but that thermometer will be sticking out your mouth when the doctor is measuring your feverish state because the very same mercury poisoned the hell out of you! Mercury is the two-faced asshole of the periodic table. Strangely drawn to imbibing it, you'll soon end up wretching up your stomach lining and being reborn with your internal organs on the outside of your body. Yes, indeed, mercury's effects include time travel and retrograde aging cycles. Beware: Mercury, the shiny killer!
