Hi
From what, the glass or the mercury?

I'm surprised nobody has thought of the
obvious: mercury is
considerably denser than glass, so the glass would float on the
surface. All you have to do is skim it. Never mind skimmed milk,
Sellam, you can have skimmed quicksilver ;-)
I noticed it was actually staying on the surface, but I don't want to
touch it! That'd be dangerous. I just want to quaff it.
