I can remember collecting Mercury out of old thermometers when I was a kid just to mess around with it. How come I ain’t dead?

How come I aint dead?You could eat the mercury and not really be harmed, as I recall.
But vaporous mercury is inhaled.

You mean the same mercury we are required to put in our light bulbs now? Just wait till millions of cfls hit our landfills in the next decade.

Didnt I read an Umberto Eco novel about this years ago?I thought there would be DOZENS of references to NOTR. Bought the DVD not so much for the story, interesting as it was, but for the bizarre collection of first-rate foreign character actors as well as Sean Connery and Ron Perlman (Salvatore).

Where did you get the DVD? I've wanted it for a long time, but it's a German locale encoding.
It's in USA locale now?

From the article:
... one should really not touch, or much less rub, the incunabulum I think they taught us in school that it would make you blind ... or grow hair on your palms ... or something ...
