[–]CompactusDiskus 247 points248 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, it's a compound, so that doesn't (in itself) mean it holds the properties of the individual elements.

It's not like we need to be careful with fire when we're around water because it contains hydrogen.

That said, mercury (II) thiocyanate is toxic, and does put off toxic gases when this reaction happens, and the resulting solid is also quite toxic, so yeah, safety is an issue here.

Same here. The WTFometer just kept increasing throughout the movie, to the point where I wasn't surprised by anything anymore. I couldn't even remember half the stuff from the end, but Tetsuo's guts falling out and the giant toys haunted me forever.
