        What will you do with it? Or is it just a trophy to brag about to your geek friends on the internet?

          Mercury gas is what’s dangerous right? Not it in liquid form? I guess you mean Careful dropping on a surface that can turn it into a gas ( I’m uncertain of it’s boiling point.) Yeah too rich for my blood. Maybe I’ll find someone that has one in person someday.

      Totally off topic, but I was curious how dense this was compared to nuclear waste and it’s pretty close.

    I wish mecury was more accessible to just play with. A room temperature liquid metal is just interesting.

        It’s danger is sort of exagerated. As long as you take reasonable safety precautions you will be fine. Here’s a guy flushing a toilet with mercury.

          The video only shows that he could, I wonder if he stopped to think if he should.
