   From Wikipedia:   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_mercury   
      
   "Red mercury is a substance of uncertain composition purportedly used in the   
   creation of nuclear bombs, as well as a variety of unrelated weapons   
   systems."   
      
   "The "red mercury" hoax was first reported in 1979, and was commonly   
   discussed in the media in the 1990s. Prices as high as $1,800,000 per   
   kilogram were reported."
