Plays heck with your mercury delay line memory :-)
Also, while pure mercury is bad stuff, it's not as dangerous as
mercury compounds, such as organics or the oxide,
or lots of other stuff. Similarly, you could store toxic waste,
making your self-defense system a profit-making business...
But if you explicitly dump the waste yourself, not only
are you harming a bunch of non-participants in your fight,
you've got a liability problem that exceeds any profits you may have made.
Ain't worth it.
Thanks!
