    You're a smart guy, Doc - there's nothing to argue about, but yes,
    it will. Whether ANY substance is any phase - solid, liquid or gas -
    is a function of temperature and pressure. The reason oxygen is a
    gas on earth is because the ambient temperature is above it's
    liquification point. Heating mercury will cause it to boil, just
    like water, and when it cools off it will condense, just like water.
    And liquid mercury is easily absorbed through the skin, too. But I'm
    not all paranoid about it, either. Just facts is facts.
