40 years ago we used to play with mercury in science class. Being the only metal that was liquid at room temperature was very cool. As far as I know, I’m still alive (unless I’ve died and gone to hell and just can’t tell the difference).
LOL - A buddy of mine back in the ‘50s used to carry a really shiny, slippery quarter around with him at all times. He’s dead now but not from mercury poisoning.
I played with mercury also, all paint was lead based, we had leaded gasoline, we even rode bicycles without helmets!!! Just because some parent had an idiot kid who ingested mercury or paint chips the government has come in to take control. Because they know better. The government is the idiot parent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here. Coach ... who doubled as the science teacher had a jar of mercury and went around to each kid and poured a bit in our hands so we could play with it while he lectured about it in class.
In Hell the President of the United States is a half-Kenyan Marxist.
