One's a shiny metal that'll make your neurons go haywire, and the other's a scorching hot planet that'll fry your spacecraft! The Romans really nailed the naming here - both Mercury the element (Hg) and Mercury the planet are totally untouchable without proper protection! Touch the liquid metal? Neurotoxicity party! Visit the planet? Temperature extremes from -290°F to 800°F! Both are slippery characters too - the metal flows freely at room temperature, while the planet zips around the sun faster than any other. Coincidence? I think NOT! *cackles maniacally while adjusting safety goggles*
