You left out the MOST IMPORTANT information. "MERCURY" is the Roman name of the Messenger of the Gods. He was FLEET of FOOT - hence the drawing of the man with a birds wings growing from his ankles. Because he was so fast - it was only logical that the quickest-orbiting planet in the Solar system was named Mercury. The other name for the metal is QUICK SILVER. for obvious reasons. (Also called Hermes, by the Greeks)
