Hg is an element with a very unusual property compared to its neighbours on the periodic Table. The easy bit would be to tell what that is

But the challenge: What is the three other elements which shares that property.

Regulars may know the answer, but they should know the drill. Fastest finger first, and detailed answers are the nice ones (oh, and none of this cut & Paste off Wikipedia cheating, thats Laziness, not scientific).

I ussually provide a morning wake up chance as a break for the thinkers from the mundane questions, however this unfortunately will be the last question on the morning brain workout. More details of why can be found here:-

What is reasonable salary for a project coordinator in the construction field? I took my current position at a lower wage for 90 days. The company had bad luck with prior applicants so they wanted a trial period. 90 days is coming soon but I have never worked for Salary pay before. How do I know they are paying me what I'm worth and how do I protect myself from being overworked and underpaid?

In mathematics when solving an equation and you have the answer, you change the equation around and solve for x. In this equation :

on 9/11 three planes were jacked; much damage, death and mayhem + x (the unknown...who did it) = who benefited.
solve for x
9/11 - who beneifit = x (who dunnit)

x = the war hawks of the current administration who would not have been able to carry out their international policy otherwise. Haliburton, who makes money on war. Oh, Dick and George are invested in same. How about Osama was,(still?) a cia agent or the Bin Laddens flying out of dodge on 9/11...or how about companies that pulled their money and employees out of the stock market and world trade center. Can we have an honest discussion? Maybe not, 'cause that would be treasonous.

Only serious answers please.
Many sub-castes of Hindus and mostly all Jains are vegetarians. I am curious to know about any other religions/communities who practice vegetarianism. They may be anywhere in the world. Pls do write if you have information on any of them or if you are one of them, with details. Thank you.
