I would like to touch mercury too but i would wear gloves.
 
when i was like, 9 i was trying to heat water and I put a reg. thermometer in it to see how hot it was and it melted the tip off and all the mercury came pouring into my glass.

i was about to ask the same thing lol

i wish mercury wasnt poisonous... if it wasnt it would be a fun thing to play with.
 
ive done it many times. its more fun than a pillow fight
 
Tons of us played with Mercury as kids. We're alive. I read that the body does eventually eliminate it, but it takes decades.

Something similar happened to me , but with a bowl of soup. The thermometer melted and the mercury drained into the soup. I didn't want to be yelled at for wasting food, and breaking the thermometer(it was a ramen type soup, probably was literally a quarter) so I and ate the soup. I remember not drinking the broth, but not really knowing where the mercury went :crazy:
