Quicksilver

Holy crap, it feels like I have a metal rod inserted directly into my knee this morning, which of course is pretty much true except the rod isn't going directly into my knee, just slightly above it.  (I wrote that an hour ago now...I got sidetracked.  Not really hurting anymore).  Funny how that happens.  I think it corresponds with a rapid rise/fall in the mercury.  I have some mercury at home in a vial.  That stuff is surprisingly heavy.  I only have a drop of it, but when you shake the vial you can feel it hitting the ends and it has a surprising mass/density.  Quicksilver.  Too bad that stuff is wickedly toxic.  Mercury may be my favorite element or at least a close second to platinum.  Titanium has some really cool qualities too, like holding me together.  Gotta love that.
