    Well Tycho Brahe dabbled in that astrology stuff and died of mercury poisoning. Then after, half his nose came off and Johannes Keppler said “fuck that astrology stuff”, popularized astronomy and now we have flying cars in space. True story.

      Tycho’s nose came off because of steel though, not mercury (he was wounded in a duel).

        That might be true…but whatever happened, it came off real quick(silver).
