Video: Canonball Floating in Mercury.

Very cool --

A cannonball floating/spinning in a pool of mercury.  Don't try this at home.  Apparently the previous generation played with mercury all the time, now its treated as a biohazard.

To me, the fascinating part of the video is that none of the mercury sticks to the irregularities on the cannonball as it floats & spins.
