Do you ever see those Mercury spill stories on your local news broadcast? They always involve any place with god damn classroom with people at, a few years above, or below the age of puberty!
What really grinds me is the fact these Mercury spills are normally caused by some dumbsh*t kid messing with some vial of the crap he found on a vacant lot, garage of a hick idiot /family friend, or abandoned factory somewhere and decides to show his/her equally stupid friends. They throw it around like the retards that they are "accidentally" spilling the sh*t all over the school (or some janitor who didn't do his f^cking job, whatever the case maybe), thus contaminating whole building in the f**king process! Why? Don't these pee-wee pricks know that Mercury is a dangerous carcinogen and shouldn't handled by anyone outside a laboratory much less a zit-faced dweeb or pea-brained janitor with as much common sense as a reality show contestant! Thanks, dumbf**k! I'm sure the principal wants the school on lockdown and you, your friends(or should I say former friends) are either sockless/shoeless or stripped to their underwear, and soaked with decontaminant on a football field/cafeteria. Only to wait hours soaking wet to get replacement clothing and footwear and get pricked by f**king needles at a hospital. Kids like this deserved to be beaten, bullied, and locked up. Hell, the entire school should draw and quarter him/her or them! This is just beginning, folks. These spills aren't normally huge puddles big enough to drown a small pet. What irks me just much as the idiots or idiotic circumstances that caused said spill, is the way the incident is being handled by the so-called pros. Why? Well, it's the fact that everyone has to strip down/remove shoes and socks and whatever or worse because of a spill of Mercury no bigger than f**king penciltip? Isn't that a touch much? It's always in a hick sh*thole or some suburban bore of a "town" with psychotic loners or redneck dummies for kids that run by a former fatheaded jock/street preacher/moron son-of-a-tycoon that can't handle a plane crash let alone a chemical spill. Can't they use some gieger-counter on everyone instead having everyone huddled like prisoners moving around the contaminated building in socks yellow plastic footies? It's not like you're handling a 55-gallon drum of potassium chloride or nuclear waste that exploded. If Mercury is this dangerous then why use the sh*t in our TV's or lightbulbs? Christ, there's Mercury in our fish in the same amount I just mentioned in previous paragraph. If you ask me this is just panic plain and simple. Why? Some of us had played with the stuff when we were younger, now the call they(meaning the lunatics that run the school board who watch way, way too many Dateline NBC episodes and Michael Bay movies) National Guard everytime someone sees a drop of the stuff. But that's procedure and petty much nothing comes of it, most of alleged contaminated items are returned after a day of hell and incidents like this are very, very, rare. In conclusion, what really pisses me off is the fact that incidents like this can be prevented. Mercury spills are caused by someone's idiocy or sloppy maintenance or even poorly conducted science experiments involving people who can barely handle driving a motor vehicle and classroom instruments pre-dating the Vietnam War. Do you really need that ancient ass equipment around the classroom? This is not 1965, most schools have computers and modern equipment so that you won't need a toxic deathtrap! Can you imagine going through this? I for one do not want to remove any part of my clothing unless its my hat, sunglasses, and jacket! If you ask me I think procedure needs an overhaul as well as the brains of the person(person's family) who caused it. Like we need something more to worry about when entering our kid's schools or our college campuses besides being shot by some sick dick with emotional problems. People go to these places to learn, not to bear witness to a real-life version of a Die Hard movie!

Exactly! If most of these spills were any bigger and produced an odor was detected all over the building I would understand such a 9/11 style procedure, but not for a droplet. C'mon, the fire dept., police, and Hazmat have more important things to do with their time.

Did you know older thermostats had/have vials of mercury inside?

Oral/rectal thermometers, too. I remember a few instances, playing with the mercury from broken thermometers. I liked how it'd form into little balls, and merge into larger balls if they touched.
Then, of course, we'd eat it.
