  1. When I left Mercury, I had a tan. A sickly orange one. And when I look back upon it, I realize that my dislike of that tan was ridiculous, because the alternative was being cooked to a crisp and having nothing left of me, save some ashes. Solar shields were the best thing scientists had ever devised.

  3. Mercurichrome and HIV, calling me slowly, killing me softly. A moment in the distance, and pocket of hope, of ending, of new discoveries.

  4. mercury is deadly and fun. It’s in old thermometers and fish. I don’t have to worry though because I don’t eat fish, I’m vegetarian :) GO VEG! woot woot ;) It’s also a planet and a character on Sailor Moon. :D

  5. Mercury poisoning killing my father, killing me, killing the world. Mercury poisoning killing babies, killing me, killing the world. Mercury poisoning killing me, killing the world, mercury poisoning killing me… and the world.

  6. It was all I could see that shining bit of mercury. It rolled around like it was better than me. Smooth and soft and shiny. It rolled onward slowly, then it rolled to the floor. When I looked at it funny, it rolled some more. The mercury glimmered like it knew my thoughts, reflecting my heart

  7. Mercury is an element. an element of time. did you know that people thought that mercury in vaccines was and still is the cause of autism? i work in the field of autism and it is quite interesting. mercury is a planet. what’s next to mercury? pluto? i don’t know. pluto no longer exists. mercury is mercury. mercury red.

  9. Fish get mercury poisoning so I am told. But how? Do they play with old thermometers too?

  12. mercury is a funny metallic liquid. I used to play with it, make it roll around on my hand. That was probably a bad thing to do!?

    Mollie
  13. why, i already did this one. but okay.

    mercury is far, far away (okay, not FAR away). probably inhabitated by microscopic bacteria, i believe it had life once. or it will. it’s really selfish to think that we are alone in the universe.

  14. a metal that i know is dangerous to inhale but it is actualy safe to swallow large amounts, although i dont recommend doing so

  15. Mercury was used in thermometers. When the thermometers were broken, the mercury would spread, and when tried to clean, it would break into smaller pieces. Thus it was not used in thermometers any longer.

  16. mercurio es un planeta, ubicado en el sistema solar, no me acuerdo donde queda. esta sonando el celular de mi papa. bueno, estaba. ahora suena a saucerful of secrets, de pink floyd. ahh, me encanta pink floyd, pero no esta cancion. mejor dicho, no me gusta la era barretiana. demasiado loca. muy progresiva, incluso para mi. mañana

  17. Freddy Mercury? I don’t think that’s what they meant. I think they meant the element. The element that’s used in thermometers. It was nice today, wasn’t it, Dear Mercury? Thanks for warning me ahead of time about the slight heat, lest I wear uncomfortable clothing. Your thermometers are the only kind for me. Fuck the digital ones.

    Andrew
  18. Freddy mercury? I don’t think so I think they meant the element. The element that tells the temperature. It was nice today wasn’t it, Dear Mercury? Yeah? It was a bit hot. I’m glad you told me this ahead of time. Fuck those digital thermometers, you’re the only kind for me. I love you. Too bad you are poisoning those fish.

  19. Is something which is a element in the periodic table. It is also a very powerful colour. mercury is a planet, mercury is also a nice sounding word. Someone should write a story about mercury. Mercury would be a good name, although I don’t think I would be brave enough to call my child Mercury. It reminds me of a hero name.

  20. MERCURY IS A planet that is dar away from here. it is purple im pretty sure, which means it is the land of the homo sexuals. mercury is also a metal that was in thermometers and stuff but then everyne got poisoned from it so they stopped putting it in there. probably a good idea.

    WOWOO
  21. There is a store around where I live and it is called the Mercury Head. I think it is strange that mercury the goddess has bad connotations in my mind because mercury the element causes deformities. People used to play with mercury and cure their hats with it and go fucking crazy.

  22. Mercury is the planet closest to the sun. I think. It could be Venus. I have always mixed the 2 up. I imagine either way it is very hot there. But then this is the 3rd planet from the sun. Should be hotter here too.

  23. i wish i could go there
    and burn
    …and burn

  24. The mercury fell within the box, from side to side, as she turned it over in her hand. She opened the box, with a knife, cracking the plexiglass. As it oozed out, she let it under her fingernails, and the cracked, chapped skin around them.

  25. a planet, a metal thats liquid, always reddish in color. closest to the sun. also one of the smallest planets. used to be used in thermometers, but then it became toxic

  26. “mercury is an element most of you should be familiar with” our science teacher started.
    I tuned out, knowing he was going to start on one of his long, boring rants.

  27. elemento de la tabla periodica que es plateado y muy pesado una vez metimos uno en una pluma o boligrafo y era realmente pesada. Lo robamos de un laboratorio de la escuela su simbolo es Hg, es un metalj y ya no se que mas decir, hicimos un experimento con el pero no recuerdo lo que fue…

  28. Der Merkur ist ein schöner Planet. Persönlich erinnert er mich immer an Sailor Moon, eine Serie die ich sehr geliebt habe. Aber mit Kinderaugen sieht man alles anders – heute kann sich mich nur noch mäßig begeistern, nur noch der erinnerung wegen schaue ich es mri ab und zu an.

  29. she bled mercury
    it was all she could do

    from the treetops we sang above her
    and shielded the eyes of those too young

  30. Venus, Earth, and Mars
    All are falling, like the stars
    Crashing, Downward, into cars
    Only one has candy bars.

  31. The first thing that comes to mind is my friend P.J. He began writing a series in high school called prophetica, and Mercury was one of the villans in it. Each episode was about 35 pages single spaced, and there were 50 episodes in the saga. He’s finishing up the last 10 currently. He has plans of animating it and releasing it in japan some day

  32. mercury. planet? stuff in a thermometer? does it really poison you if it touches you?

    who the hell knows what mercury really is?

    someone cooler and knowledgable than me.

  33. Mercury flowed in her veins
    A leaf crackled and splintered in the sun
    She only saw yesterday
    as a thing of ashen blues.

  38. The red ash floated around my head, forming a sort of surreal halo of brown and scarlet dust. I raised one hand, studying the way everything had a crimson cast to it, the way my fingers looked long and bony in the sinister light. A wind stirred the air, and the clouds above me roared.

  39. like the planet, mercury? well, i kind of hate that. not the planet itself, but you know, the god. it’s the roman names, really. as far as i can tell, the romans just took the names of the greek gods, changed them, and voila, instant religion. the greek name is ares. i’m greek. i want my planet back.

  40. Mercury is a planet. I think. I’m so confused about the solar system. They should make a solar system song. I’m sure they already have. Maybe to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I’d sing that song. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Bitches. BITCHES.
