My father used mercury when making fillings for teeth. I think I
expressed interest, or maybe he knew it would be interesting, so he
gave me maybe 4 cubic centimeters of it when I was 6, but I have to
admit, I've never found a use for it (except watching it). I think I
got another 4cc when he died 2 years later. I'm 59 now, and have
moved about 6 times, but the mercury has only had to move 4 times in
all these years. I keep saving it for a special occasion. Like
repairing mercury switches, but it was easier to buy another switch,
or use the ones built into car trunk and hood lights.

Take it to any big building you want to shut down. Like a school or
government office. Drop it on the floor and start yelling Mercury, Mercury!
