Acording to Chris Summers of BBC News, "The five main theories are:
* That red mercury is a reference to cinnabar, a naturally-occurring mercuric sulphide. The red pigment derived from cinnabar is known as vermillion.
* That it is a reference to the alpha crystalline form of mercury iodide, which changes to a yellow colour at very high temperatures.
* That it is simply referring to any mercury compound originating from the former Soviet Union. The 'red' tag would simply be a legacy of the Cold War era.
* That it is a ballotechnic mercury compound which just happens to be red in colour. Ballotechnics are substances which react very energetically when subjected to shock compression at high pressure. They include mercury antimony oxide which, according to some reports, is a cherry red semi-liquid produced in Russian nuclear reactors. This theory contends that it is so explosive that a fusion reaction - a nuclear explosion - can be triggered even without fissionable material such as uranium.
* That it is a military codeword for a new nuclear material, probably manufactured in Russia."

"The prosecutor, Mark Ellison, admitted the police had no idea if there even was such a thing as red mercury - supposedly the main ingredient for a "dirty bomb" which could have devastated London." (Chris Summers of BBC News 25 July 2006)

Born Farookh Bulsara in Zanzibar on September 5th, 1946, Mercury was the lead singer of the legendary rock band Queen, said to be second in popularity and collectibility in the UK next to the Beatles. Known as the greatest frontman that ever lived, and a homosexual, he was among rock's first AIDS casualties. He died on November 24th, 1991, but is still remembered today by his serenading voice and powerful lyrics.
Freddie Mercury's rock opera, 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' is quite possibly the official headbanger's anthem.

A well known yet mysterious group that bases there practises on the original definition. Initially formed as an Initial D Version 3 racing group, Dark Mercury has now since evolved into the secret dominant leaders over the high school the members attend. Since the forming, popular phrases have been adopted, some such “Embrace Nothing” “Simply Black” etc.
Guy 1: I dont believe a group like Dark Mercury exists..
Dark Mercury member: Embrace nothing and believe... (Takes out katana and cuts down non-believer)

One of the greatest rock legends of the 20th century. Of course, the homophobes will just bitch about him being gay. Funny how the first thing they notice is how someone is gay, most people don't look. maybe they're looking for others in the closet.
