I found a book somewhere as a kid that showed how to coat pennies with mercury by boiling Mercurochrome (sp) on the kitchen stove. Probably not a great idea.
Yeah, ain't it the truth! When we were kids we ran with scissors all the time too.
Ya know those little American flags on little sticks? I remember running with one of those in my mouth. Yep, I fell down and stuck it down my throat.
What do you expect...... there were no warning labels! How was I to know?
