Not a specialist in chemistry... Hg and U somehow create a stable and safe alloy?
UHg. Now it's radiation and toxic.
I think Natgeo is referring to hug.
I see. I just hoped the joke was clever in some way.
shouldn't it be called "mercry" then?
Don't be silly. This is just a joke about "hugs" instead of being "toxic". Mercry is what happens when mermaids break up with each other. They have a good mercry.
As you're such an expert on the topic, perhaps you could tell me what happens when doves cry.
Well damn, you are right that has to be what Mercry means. I have to rein in my silliness, this is getting out of hand! What will I bungle next???.
I don't think adding uranium will be helpful, but I'm no chemist.
