See also Red Mercury, a fake chemical compound MI6 invented to lure wannabe terrorists out of the woodwork.


I've been surfing various Electronica radio stations through iTunes trying to find one that makes for good background music without occasionally sounding like there's an orgy going on in my office. I usually stick with a station for an hour or so before there's a barrage of curses or suggestive moaning. My current try is a station called Red Mercury, but I had no idea if or what it referred to, so it's awesome to see your post serendipitously. Is this like a reverse Baader-Meinhof phenomenon* where I saw a cool phrase and THEN suddenly found out the meaning accidentally? Or does Baader-Meinhof cover this case as well?
