The density of Hg
One of the most useful properties of the metal is that the density changes drastically over small temperature variations.
Today, a very annoying person, failing to deliver promised goods to his management, ensnared myself for his personal failure. He went about this in the most direct of fashions, initially blaming me, refusing to accept my disacknowledgment, instead chosing to become testy. After a few minutes of a failing attempt to placate him on the telephone, I finally lost my ability to think clearly, and capriciously blurted "None of your business". A quote which he will take, with incontainable glee, to his management, showing a clear lack of professionalism on my part, and hence declaring me culpubable for what is his own shortcoming.
If only I was smart enough, at the time, to work out what he was doing. A simple "Just tell me what you hope to achieve from this" would have been enough to napalm any ambush. At the next duel, I will win. And host a rocking party on site of his tomb.
