Cure-Alls

[infinite monkey]

My brother and I thought it would be fun to see how high we could make the thermometer go. So we boiled some water on the stove. And the thermometer melted. Hi, would you like some mercury with your potatoes?

These days they'd get hazmat. I don't remember if we told mom or not. I know we still used the pan.

Don't worry, the amalgam in the bottom of the pan protects you from lead-poisoning.

I once bit down on and broke a mercury thermometer. *GAH* Sometimes I get a powerful but fleeting taste memory, and it's nasty.
