The expression "mad as a hatter" came from working with
mercury.

What's your estimate of the amount of mercury that leaks
out of a CFL
in a decade?

I, and many others of my age, have played with mercury as a
kid in the
1940s.
Rub it on a coin and it shined it up.
I'm not sure, but we might have even tasted it.
I remember busting the long florescent bulbs.
There is nothing wrong with me now.
Will someone answer that telephone??
