It's not so much surface tension; it's that mercury does not "wet" the cannonball.

...or maybe that the cannonball is less dense than the mercury?


Wombles - 2009-12-03

Yeah, even if it did coat/"wet" the ball, it would still float.

To be difficult though, it can't coat the ball because of its surface tension.

I love it when you get two replies that are right, but miss the point.


Cube - 2009-04-07

I wanna dip my balls in it!


voodoo_pork - 2009-04-07

I'm outta here, maaaan.

Jesus of Nazareth, are you Jesus of Nazareth? I have a warrant for your arrest.

No, he's the guy who went that way, yelling something about his balls.

i know you little libertine.


chairsforcheap - 2009-04-07

hey buddy do you think you wanna maybe put on a face mask?


Ageusiatic - 2009-04-07

Mercury isn't really as dangerous as people think. Ask old people- they used to play with it all the time.


chairsforcheap - 2009-04-07

yeah but isn't it what made the mad hatter mad? i remember kids breaking open thermometers and the fucking HASMAT people would swarm in in school

Mercury vapors and mercury absorbed through the skin is bad-- maybe they have a temperature control to avoid vapors, and I notice he IS wearing gloves.


Ageusiatic - 2009-04-07

The hatters sometimes went mad, but they worked with the stuff all day every day. I heard that it was because they would often lick their brushes to get a fine point on them, same way the people who would paint radium onto watch hands would get radiation poisoning.


Desidiosus - 2009-04-07

He still seems somewhat cavalier about dropping a cannonball into it, like he doesn't really care where it splashes.

Meh, he's old anyway and probably figures he'll snuff it soon enough.


Runic - 2009-08-04

It really depends on what kind of mercury you've got. Some compounds are so toxic that a single drop on your skin can kill you.

unpossible

Syd Midnight can chug mercury and laugh in your face. He'll do the backstroke in that tank.


dichotic1 - 2009-04-07

i heard Teldin digs his chicken fingers in mercury and licks up the remaining juice like everynight


RomancingTrain - 2009-04-07

I heard that's why Sodahead is the way he is now.


Big Beef Burritos Supreme - 2009-04-07

seem like an unwise amount of mercury you to keep in one place


SolRo - 2009-04-07

Mercury isn't dangerous as long as you splash a heavy object in it once in a while.


bopeton - 2009-04-07

That cannonball is probably made out of a lead-uranium alloy.


simon666 - 2009-04-07

Actually I think it would be a uranium-lead alloy, the lead being a byproduct of the uranium breakdown.


bopeton - 2009-04-07

You fool, that would sink: http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/periodic/density.html


Syd Midnight - 2009-04-08

What if you made a boat out of uranium-lead alloy, I bet you could get that to float in mercury


Camonk - 2009-09-19

You seem to be a rather large amount of PUSSY to keep in one place.


Jeriko-1 - 2009-04-08

Oh shit, it splashed in my MOUTH!!!


Chinballs - 2009-08-06

My wife hates that.


j lzrd / swift idiot - 2009-04-11

I am rather wowed.


oddeye - 2014-04-13

How can he be so close to that much molten metal? That stuff must be 5 billions degrees to be so fluid. How does the cannonball not melt? The powerbills for maintaining that tank must be through the roof.
