What is the only liquid metal at room temperature?
Correct answer: Mercury
Ruby
people who made hats used Mercury in the process and it eventually makes people go mad so that's why people say mad as a hatter

Ruby, close - believe it or not, v large amounts of urine were used to fix the felt in hat-making, and it was mercury in the urine (prescribed as a 'drug' to treat venereal diseases) that caused madness in three workers who were around, and even working with, the large vats of pee!

I had a babysitter once that let my baby girl suck on the broken end of a GLASS thermometer. I could have killed her. (the sitter)
