Yesterday this headline:
'Mercury spills at Ohio day care, 30 kids affected '
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2016086594_apusmercurydaycare.html
It seems an old blood pressure cuff with a glass mercury tube was broken & spilled. They immediately called the fire deparment with the requisite environmental impact statements & panic. Kids & teachers thrown in decontaminantion showers for 30 minutes...
Where is the common sense? We used to play with mercury in our hands - it is a really neat metal that is liquid at room temp! It can hurt you in quantity, but so can water. If there is a water spill do we run to a mercury shower??
What a bunch of idiotic, uneducated liberal bozos!!

But in the name of ecology we have no problem putting CFL's in every light fixture of every building in the nation.
What does a daycare do when little Johnny knocks over a lamp or hits an overhead fixture with a stick?

Weren't you paying attention? They will call the fire department and take 30min decontamination showers. They will have the cleanest teachers and students around. ;D
I'm not that old and I remember my science teacher pouring some out on everyone's desk to play with.

Dry ice would harden mercury. You could mold bells that would ring when struck.
Fun stuff...

Correct answer, no joke.
