I can quite clearly remember pushing blobs of mercury around the basement floor when I was a kid. Whatever ill effects that's caused me have made me the man I am today - only slightly crazy. You know what they say: reduce, reuse, recycle. A little dollop of mercury can provide endless hours of fun for any curious child. The longer they play, the more curious they become.

At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
And they put mercury in amalgam tooth fillings! :butt:

Good point, my dentist has been removing some of my old amalgam fillings and replacing them... only for me to find out that you're exposed to the most problems from the mercury when it's being put in... or being taken out! Oh, well.
CFL's might kill you, LED's may not last, Incandescents burn too much juice... aargh!
Maybe I'll buy an LED booklight so I can read, and forget about any other lights indoors after dark.
