A metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is typically used in thermometers, barometers, and other measuring devices. Is toxic to humans because it causes permanent brain and nerve damage. Mercury is nicknamed "quicksilver" because it was once used to shine hats and shoes before people realized that it caused insanity (Mad Hatter anyone?).

Please Mercury, may my courier reach Julius Octavius in time.
Freddie Mercury ROCKED.
Make sure you don't bite the thermometer too hard, or you'll get shards of glass in your mouth and a few drops of mercury down your throat.

1st planet from the sun. Hot on both sides. 2nd hottest planet(second to venus, the 2nd planet from the sun). its year is the shortest because it's path around the sun is shorter(you'd be like twice as old there). if you visited venus you'd die. you step on the ground and you burst into flame. just like arizona.

mercury is a mysterious person. you’ll never know what going on in their head. they have this border that they’ve built up. on the outside they’re this stone cold person who everyone is scared of but once you break through that wall they’re a completely different person. they’re the person everyone always wants to be around. they’re always there for you when you need them and they always makes the situation better with hugs, forehead kisses, and cuddles! don’t make the mistake and let go of a mercury because they’re the best thing to ever happen to you. if you’re lucky they might save your life.
