DOES mercury come in lots? I would have thought acre-feet would be a better measurement.

Not sure if serious...but Hg is for hydragyrum, the classical name for mercury, and is the modern chemical symbol for mercury.

HG Wells, writer of science fiction + Hg, atomic number of mercury, wells.

Mercury wells poisoning arctic rivers.

Clever, clever subby.

H.G. Wells wrote science fiction.
You would know that if you went to class instead of following Phish around the country.
