I remember breaking thermometers to get the mercury out when I was a kid. I won't say what I did with it though, because it was a really stupid stupid stupid stupid idea.

And are these children's names Mohammed, Fatimah, and Abdul, or something similar? If so, I'd be very worried. Look at the little Palestinian schoolgirl recently quoted as saying "I'll go kill the Jews wherever they are", or words to that affect.

We all did. I guess we're all dead from mercury poisoning, but we don't know it.

Probably not. Every kid knows that is is better to keep your mouth shut when grownups are mad, no matter what they say.

Confession time. I played with it too. But there is a difference between that tiny ball of mercury and a cup of the stuff.
Poison is a matter of degree.
Why would some one have a cup of mercury around the house anyway?

I remember playing with it, My dad was a dentist and in his lab he had a huge bottle of it. I used to take some, put it in a bottle, play with it, shake it, touch it, I am still alive.. lol of course that was before it was a weapon of mass destruction :)

Why would some one have a cup of mercury around the house anyway?I can think of several reasons - most of them very unpleasant.

"Nobody's talking, I don't know why," said Mike Gress, director of the Office of Emergency Management for Fort Collins.
I bet nobody is talking because an adult found out and told the kids that a cup full of harmless mercury is going to cost BILLIONS to clean up. "Please, Jr. ...Last offer .....Ten thousand. All you have to do is tell 'em you spilled it in the river, not my living room. Okay?"
