Iraq

Yeah mercury is rarely used anymore because, upon handling, trace amounts are absorbed through your hands, and get into your bloodstream and eventually end up in your brains causing accumulative neural damage. But it's still really cool to see it in action. It keeps its lustre and conductivity but it's gooey and viscous. Make sure you take the appropreate safety precautions though.

Imagen that someone new gets in to this threat and sees "Iraq" and finds out that people are actually discussing chemical properties of the Mercury.......... he/she might say at least "wtf?".....

Good point. And I meant that if solid mercury were brought into a room it would melt.
