<![CDATA[Mercury Spills]]>People these days are so damn uptight over the stupidest shit it's pathetic. A spill the size of the bottom of a pen is enough to shut down a school or class...wow...talk about overreacting.

The cops blocked off all the exits in the parking lots and school officials were at all the exits. The problem was the thermometer broke almost 2 hours before it was reported, so there was the "possibility" that it had been transfered around the school. And yeah just today I cleaned shit in the parts washer, I'm pretty sure thats alot more dangerous than a drop of mercury..

if it took 2 hours, i have a feeling it wasnt "reported". my guess is a student said something about a thermometer being dropped in class within earshot of the wrong employee and that person went to the office and had a panic attack.

I was just about to leave when the principle said the school was in a lock down. Everyone was stuck in their hot ass class rooms for almost an hour extra. A friend of mine left during the lockdown and he almost got expelled, how stupid is that.

We used to break open thermometers and play with the Mercury back in HS. Aside from that most tooth fillings had mercury in them up through the early 1990's. And yes, fish has a fairly high concentration. I thought the shutdown was total bs...sounds like the kids now have a way to completely shut down a school now...throw a thermometer down the hall and watch it explode.

And that explains a lot about you chuck....

I think they said a thermometer was broken on the news, so I'm thinking, how fucking big is this thermometer that they have to shut down the whole school and call hazmat?

well if it was mercury then that might make sence because that is poisonous

No it doesn't make sense. It's poisonous but not in the quantities everyone is getting their undies in a bunch over. People used to come into contact with LARGE amounts of mercury all the time and have suffered no ill consequences. People ingest mercury every time they eat tuna. Shutting down/quarrantining a building because of a spill the size of 1/2 a penny is FUCKING STUPID.
