The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland was a symbolic character for the hat makers in towns of the late 1800's. The large felt hats of the day had supports made out of lead (as well as mercury). The lead caused an organic form of psychosis (brain damage) to develop in the hat makers causing them to be declared crazy.... Hence, the expression "mad as a hatter"



Actually, some scholars believe that Caligula (12 - 41 C.E.), a Roman emperor who puts Nero and Commodus to shame, may have suffered from mercury poisoning. A year after his appointment, he fell deathly ill, and mercury and lead was used in some medical combinations of the time. He survived, his sanity did not.

Hawaii's tallest peak, Mauna Kea, is 13,784 feet above sea level, but it rises from a sea bottom that is 18,000 feet below sea level. From base to peak, Hawaii is over 31,000 feet.
