Another weird fact about Mercury: IIRC, it was sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein that "invented" the concept of a waterbed. In his story, a character slept on a pool of Mercury and described the wonderful sensation of floatation sleep. An intrepid entrepreneur read the story, and wondered if the same wasn't possible - without the health hazards - on a bladder of water. Hence the birth of the waterbed industry, all attributed to Mercury and Robert Heinlein.

Best sleep I ever had was on a waterbed, FWIW.

Loved my old Waterbed that I had when I was in my 20's. That bed fucked. Great to sleep on, especially on a cold day. Awesome for snuggling up with a hot little chicka.
 

That makes my legendary walk to school "uphill both ways in the snow" seem like a walk in the part compared to that shop owner's daily commute. I'm presuming they sell energy bars for the experienced climbers and toilet paper for the terrified newby climbers who shit their drawers climbing that rock. Sumbitch.
