Mercury (Hg)
Lucky Number 80

Rare, beautiful and hard to hold, you entice those around you. Getting close to you can be a dangerous affair for any who fall for your considerable charms.

In your heyday you were a delightful (if somewhat toxic) plaything for children, and as a measure of both barometric and thermal status you had no peer. But the advent of affordable alcohol thermometers and the odd heavy-metal poisoning incident has seen you fall from grace in many a quadrant.

These are tough times, Mercury. Your best bet is to play to your strengths. Amalgamate where possible. And try to keep a low profile until this storm in a dental surgery blows over - confine all random scooting across surfaces to tv ads and c-class laboratories.

If all else fails, remember Mercury that revenge is a dish best served in cold. And in vapour form.
