	ANY idea why it works?  It's a funny thing to have tried without
some hypothesis...

	The enrichment is a bit more than for nuclear reactor fuel, which
costs several hundred dollars per pound.  Shouldn't matter, though - a 
pound of mercury can make a LOT of bulbs.  Doesn't even seem to be 
worthwhile to charge a deposit for used bulbs...
