Mercury poisoning induces tremors, impairment of mental and motoric functions and hallucinations. In the 18th and 19th century mercury nitrate was used in the hat industry in the production of felt. Many hat makers went mad as a result. That's where the term "mad hatter" cames from.

I always find it interesting to learn the meaning of colloquialisms, especially the ones I'd never stopped to consider previously.

The word laser is actually an acronym for the expression: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
