It's elemental, doesn't get absorbed by the body

How the hell does one obtain that ridiculous amount of mercury?

[Keiser Wolfblitzer]

I want to get a bunch of mercury, just so I can do that!

Those last 10 seconds of this video is the shortest 10 seconds of my life, ever. I want to watch it longer...

Doesn't matter. If you could see the mercury around him as black vapour, it would look like a huge, eerie black mist that dances around. This guy is immersed in it. It's simply too much, unless he's was there for less than half an hour.

Anyway, I doubt it's in a warehouse because that would imply the owner lets these vapors go into the atmosphere, and that's not exactly legal.

[Danger Mat]

For all you know this could be in one corner of a giant warehouse.

The danger from touching it is way less than the danger from being inside a small room that seems to contain nearly a square metre of exposed mercury which is giving vapors as we speak. He should've used a respirator, not fucking gloves.

It's not poisonous is what I meant

[endimion17]

He didn't lost it. Having a stupid majority vote against him doesn't make him lose an argument.

He's right, this is dangerous, and the moron with the "documents" is wrong.

It's profoundly scary that your stupid comment got so many thumbs up.

It IS being absorbed even if in elemental state, but much less than mercury compounds.

They ALLLLLL float! You'll float TOO! Beep beep, Billy!
