Title: I wanna play with Mercury!
Post by: Asian Pride on November 25, 2014, 04:07:06 AM
So I ordered some (aka Quicksilver)...



I'll let you know how it goes with delivery, but know that Hg isn't cheap!  (It's heavier than lead, and is generally restricted to ground transport, meaning Mercury isn't allowed on a plane)...

I want to push the little blobs around with my bare hands, so everyone can tell me to wash my hands before I eat!  Lolz...

You don't need to wash your hands after handling it.



It's actually good for a piece of useless shit like you to absorb high quantities of mercury.

Mercury does not absorb well in the gastrointestinal tract.  It's relatively harmless if swallowed and acts as a laxative.  However, it is absorbed quite easily through the skin.  You wash your hands after handling it because otherwise it will absorb, not because it will get in your mouth when you eat.  Touching it at all is hazardous to your health.

It's Mel.  If I tell him something, he'll claim the opposite is true and do exactly that.  So now he'll happily handle it, but he'll be sure to avoid drinking it.  Because that would be dangerous.

Besides, the main symptom of mercury poisoning is brain damage, so Mel is virtually immune.

One has to wonder if that is a side effect of his infancy.



Leaving a baby to lick the lead based paint off the spindles of it's crib will do that.



Luckily he has graduated to to licking safer things, like windows.

I had to double check.  Apparently elemental mercury is safe to drink!  (It's actually the vapours, which when inhaled, that are harmful)



Could make for a youtube vid that could receive lots of hits!  I could follow it up with "Part 2"...  Examining how elemental mercury actually shits out of the rectum.  No Joke!

Either way...  Gotta get my hands on some before the Government decides Mercury is unsafe for citizens to play with.

My brother is in mining and attended a public consultation about a new mine where a bunch of local environmentalists were screaming that if the mine was opened, the local waterways would be polluted with mercury and people would wind up drinking the stuff.



The representative of the mining company said "So what?  Ingesting mercury is totally harmless.  People use mercury as a laxative."  And then to prove his point, he whipped out a vial of mercury and downed it.  It was a cheap gimmick that rather skirts the truth, but the environmentalists were stunned into silence.  I think the reaction was similar to if he had chopped off his own arm and started waving it at them.  Most probably expected to see him start choking and keel over dead, but he was right.  It's not something you'd want to do every day, but it doesn't do any harm if only swallowed occasionally.

I don't know about you, but I'm trying to cut back on my mercury consumption. I know it adds flavour to tea, but too much of a good thing can be bad. ac_dance

Get you some Gallium, it's a bit safer, and when not playing with it it turns solid.

Gallium has to be heated up to turn 'liquid.'  It is no Mercury...



Mercury is the only metal that is 'liquid' at room temp.



Mercury is a very interesting element.



I like it.

I'll have to buy a baby syringe or something to suck it back up so I can pour it back into the bottle...

Actually, Blue is right.  There are several Gallium alloys that are liquid at room temperature.

I don't need it.



I want it.  There was a time when drinking and driving was OK.  There was a time when kids didn't need to be buckled up.



Things change...  What we once did, we can do no longer.



I can still play with Mercury...

I thought only industrial enterprise were allowed to buy it, but it would seem I am wrong.

Anyone can buy elemental Mercury (for now), Fashionista.  They just cannot ship it via Air.  Ground only (Mercury leaking into a planes shit will fuck up its shit)!



It's not cheap, but nothing stops you from owning it.  In fact, if you live in an old house, the Thermostat switches are probably filled with Mercury anyhow...



I ordered some, because it is a most interesting element.  The only metal that is liquid at room temp.  I like weird shit like this.

I wonder if our house has mercury in the thermostat?



It was built in 1975.

It might.  You'd have to pull the covers off and look.  A mercury switch will look something like this:
