reminds me of this rhyme

little johnny is dead and gone, we'll see his face no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

Which reminds me of this rhyme:

Young Tom went too soon, alas

He tried to trace the escaping gas.

With lighted match he braved this feat

Which blew him to the pearly gates!

Isn't HgU also pretty toxic though?

I don't think that's a possible compound. My chemistry knowledge is very rusty but I can recall ever hearing about a chemical bond between two metals.

Edit: I'm happy to have been corrected.

You get a UNiCoRn, but I guess it can be a cancerous unicorn.
