Nope, Mercury rotates but it is very slow compared to all the other planets.
Well, maybe your right. My information might be out of date.

In Robtard's defense, I did see the same program on the moon. It was titled something about the importance of the moon or the Earth's companion or something like that. The Science Channel used to have an entire evening dedicated to astro-physics and astronomy. It used to be like that on Thursdays, if I can remember properly. They may still have that. But, I haven't had cable in over 2 years.
It did have a part about a portion on the southern hemisphere never getting any light and it talked about it being the coldest in the solar system.
However, I don't remember anywhere, even in my astronomy classes, of that portion being referred to as the "dark-side." It was usually "spot" or "portion" but never "side."
Just read on the "space weather.com" website that theres actually been loads of "impacts" initiated by humans on the moon. Over the years Nasa and other space agencies have peppered the moon with dozens of spacecraft. So if there is some form of life there, they must be well pissed off by now.
