Hahaha, what a legend! Practical teachers were always my favourite.

Yeah, i didn't go into too much detail because i can't really remember the story, so i don't know if there was a legit problem, or the teacher was just reacting to the potential. I have this vague memory about him rolling it around the palm of his hand, but i don't trust my memory on that detail.

Well, Nath also apparently remembers mercury being put into not just the teacher's, but students' hands, so you might be remembering that right.
