Maggie+Mercury

__**Maggie Murcury.**__

I was named after the planet. My color is silver. I am a liquid metal in room temperature. i am dense and very poisonous. Some of my uses are thermometers, barometers, fluorescent lamps, batteries and doing experiments in class. People pass me around like its no big deal, but when i'm in liquid form I can really kill.In the 1950's i was released in Japan in the sea. I was absorbed by many fish and when they were caught and eaten people got sick and very ill. Thousands of people ended up dying. In room temperature I seep into your skin and poison your blood stream and kill you with in. I was also used to be a filler for dental work, but that didn't work cause I was a killer. I was know to the ancients and am found in Spain in the Almaden mine, also Yugoslavia and the USA but mostly in Cali and Italy. if there is a trace of me in your brain you will go mad, so mad that you will end up pulling your own hair out. I was used to make hats in the UK back in the day. every worker who worked wit me and Mr. Hat went mad because they inhaled me and i went into their system. All of them ended up pulling their hair out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! media type="custom" key="22197620"

Mon- Today I was put into the wrong hands, swallowed at lunch it wasnt good after a minute he was under weather and didn't get much better. The next day he came to class he fell on the ground with a gasp. I hurt his lung and he couldn't breath.

Tue- I was poured into a bowl. Someone put a spi der on me and believe it or not I could support the spiders weight in my liquid form. Wed- I was so cold I was frozen solid by dry ice. Soon I was held in hand and back to liquid form I went. Thur- I got really angry and fed up with Allie Aluminum thanks to Mr. H2o and when we were put on each other I attacked Allie. We ended up stuck together.....

Friday I caused tragedy in Japan because I was leaked into the sea by some factories. Organisms made me able to be absorbed my fish. When the fish were caught and eaten many people got very ill and thousand were dying.

Saturday I was used in the production of making hats in the UK. There is an expression called " Mad as a hatter". This expression was made because the people that were making the hats were breathing me into their lungs and would show signs of MADNESSSSS!!!
