Monona,
Your comments somehow urge me to mention the $120,000 banana duct-taped to a wall. In case you don't know what I'm talking aboutÉ it's a real banana, it's not a sculpture. Somebody actually paid $120,000 for it in a Miami gallery last week.
A day or so thereafter, while still on display, a different artist walked up to it and ate it. He called it the "starving artist" performance.
So.. pool of mercuryÉ huh.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate some art styles.
Thank you,
Yaritza Brinker

Oh, I hope some college art department doesn't see this and a performance art project worked out with mercury. Or some other similar foolishness. If only poisons
would all have acute hazards we'd be rid of these people.

I read that and thought without a doubt somewhere in the world, some quack, charlatan, or dumb*** is charging people to float on pools of mercury for "therapy" or
fun. Or at the very least, it's on YouTube. With a density of 13.56 g/mL you'd barely sink in at all. Would make swimming in the Dead Sea look amateur.
