Mercury and Zinc were discussing "business" over lunch.

"So, what do you think?" Mercury asked excitedly. "Can you design a business complex for me that will rival Aluminum's offices?"

Zinc reviewed Mercury's proposal. "You want an eleventy-story building with fire-station poles instead of elevators, blanket-forts instead of offices and cubicles, and a swimming pool on every floor for Chlorine?"

"Yep," Mercury said. "I want only the best for my future meteorology-and-mad-science empire."

An amused Zinc played along. "OK. We should be able to construct this in A GAZILLION YEARS."

"Works for me," Mercury said. "I'm immortal, and I can wait."
