I remember busting open an Etch a Sketch and smearing the silver all over me and my younger brothers skin and faces. My mom freaked out, said it was Mercury. Maybe it was... It sure made us look cool though.
LOL and you're still alive!
My old man was nice enough to bring me a small bottle of mercury. I don't know what he was thinking...that stuff doesn't clean up easy and gets everywhere.
Interestingly the telescope at the observatory near Cloudcroft NM rides (or rode) on a pool of mercury. They don't bother to mention that in WIki LOL Cloudcroft Observatory - Wikipedia
