Mercury Placement Number
The Mercury Placement Number API generates a random number justified by Mercury's current position in the sky. Mercury is always in something. Today that something has produced this number. When Mercury is in retrograde, the number may arrive late, corrupted, or addressed to someone else. The planet was not consulted and does not endorse this API.
