My first day at Nickelodeon Animation they put me in a conference room and handed me a VHS tape. They said “watch this, it’s our next series” That video was “Help Wanted” I remember laughing out loud when I watched it Today is the anniversary of the premiere of that pilot in 1999
I’m a lot like Jesus Christ in the sense that I showed a lot of promise as a child and then basically fell off in my 20’s but returned at 33 to pop off unimaginably hard
If i found out i had a deadly disease and was going to die in a few months, I would spend every day touching mercury with my bare hands. Id drown myself in a pool of it.
Using red dye to demonstrate how Mercury cannot be absorbed by a towel.
Mercury has strong cohesion relative to its weaker adhesion. So it does not adhere to dissimilar materials and will bead up. Water is the reverse.
If you pour a small amount mercury on a towel, you will just get beads on the surface, while in the case of water, it would be pulled into the towel.
