Does this mean there is a discrimination going on here, against poor old
Hg -- #80, wt.200.59?  Let me tell you, I won't stand for it.  Just why
don't you want to talk about Hg?  Could it be that you have had some bad
experiences in your past, with ol' Hg?  I have done heared of some who have,
so I suppose it are possible. On the other hand, there is no use in blamin'
it on poor Hg, but (rather) on the hand who weilds it.....

Hello Joris,

sorry dude but you are forgetting something about pharmacy: the stick
that Mercury holds in his hand is called "caduceus", it has a pair of
snakes twisted on it and is the symbol you can see in all chemist
shops (at least here in Italy), in fact Mercury was also the God of
medicine. I have not my mithology dictionary handy and my memory lacks
a little so I cannot be more specific, sorry. Bye
