In a post-industrial, office-job world, I think it's nuts to have to get up before the sun, no matter what time that is. Which my family mocked me about over Thanksgiving, when I was bitching about the shift in daylight savings time, but I don't care. It's not right!

Since mercury freezes at -39C, shooting frozen mercury bullets would be fairly difficult. The kinetic energy imparted on the bullet by firing alone may melt it, presuming you fired the gun from a very, very cold icebox.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um... a hollow frozen mercury bullet filled with liquid helium?

I am seriously with you. I also advocate for human hibernation in the winter.

At that point you may as well start shooting with gold bullets, it'll be cheaper and considering gold's extraordinary ductile properties, the chances of it retaining any identifiable marks after impact is rather low. That is if the fragments aren't 'lost' by someone who has more greed than integrity.

Good call.
I think I committed to bringing cookies to a thing tomorrow night, and I am so not into it! Oh well. I just suggested I could bring a tube of dough and some decorating stuff, and have it be a craft (it's a crafty evening), so we'll see.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think it'd be most wretched to kill someone, have their ashes compacted into diamond in a bullet shape, and then shoot their loved one with it.
I WILL KILL YOU WITH YOUR OWN MOTHER, YOU BASTARD.
Now THAT is a CSI episode.

Yeah, but the whole point is to confuse the CSI people (and Quincy). "No bullet and a few splotches of mercury" would be more confusing than "gold bullet."

Oh, hey Jesse, did you get the bags?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, hey Jesse, do you need any help with the bags?
