mercury 

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?).

James developed severe schizophrenia within two years of working at a mercury factory.

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.

mercury 

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.

hi, i'm visiting mercury. i died 3 minutes before landing.
