The cleanup instructions are simple:

The same rules probably applied to those fluorescent tubes we've been

Gotta love the last question/answer!

What if I can't follow all the recommended steps? or I cleaned up a CFL
but didn't do it properly?

Don't be alarmed; these steps are only precautions that reflect best
practices for cleaning up a broken CFL. Keep in mind that CFLs contain a
very small amount of mercury -- less than 1/100th of the amount in a
mercury thermometer.

It sounds as if it's saying, "Don't sweat it, this is all just bull****

There are thousands of coal fired plants running EVERY day.
Heavy metals are worse than radiation. They NEVER go away.

Take comfort. The Chinese government is now worried about coal-burning
power plant emissions and is trying to switch to renewable fuels. Wonder
why? They've also announced a ban on incandescent bulbs.

It won't be just the small gas engines that will be puking their
guts. At 15% ethanol there will be a lot of other engines destroyed
as well. The problems with ethanol are many and have negative effects
on all parts of the fuel delivery system as well as the engine. From
the engines standpoint, the worst aspect is that ethanol acts like a
damn sponge and will absorb as much moisture from the air as is
available. That is what is the most destructive to your engine.

Don't forget match heads. That was probably the most powerful
explosive the average person could get, usually for free in the olden
days. Bars and restaurants used to have big bowls of matches right by
the door.
It was labor intensive to scrape all of that stuff off the stick but
what else did kids have to do in those days?


Match heads! That pops a memory bubble.

Had a 2 ft pc of brass pipe. End cut off with a tubing cutter so it was
flared in on one end. Popped the gizmo out of the end of CO2 cartridges.
PACKED in match heads cut from matchbooks. Wire cutters were the bad-
asses tool for this exercise. Towards it being filled, put in a
firecracker wick. Packed a few more heads in. Drop CO2 cartridge in pipe
wick end first. Stops nicely with wick exposed out back end because it's
flared inwards. Hold pipe in hands, aim and light wick (smart ehhh].
Thing would launch with a boom & flash. Cool at night. Used to aim it
across the river at the marina and listen for the plunk when cartridge
hit. Hear the people on the boats sitting around getting drunk yelling
"Hey you ****in' kids!" Laugh asses off...so they could hear.

This was living...

Oh, one of those well-to-do kids.

I was atheist till about the age of 27, so it wasn't God. I
just had a little streak of "don't tell me what to do" back
then. Less of that, now. But, still some.

Powdered magnesium is much more fun. Aluminum isn't bad, either.

Don't forget match heads. That was probably the most powerful

It was labor intensive to scrape all of that stuff off the stick but

I had a 1" steel pipe about 8" long. The one end was welded shut and
then had a little hole drilled in it. Insert fuse into hole then pack a
couple inches of match heads, a little wadding, then valve lifters from
the junk yard. Shot a lifter through a 60's vintage car door no
problem. Shot all kinds of stuff until I realized how dangerous it
would be it the pipe blew up, then I held it in place with a big rock
and stood back instead of holding it still with my foot.

You gotta remember Harry. Decades ago many of us had jars of mercury we
played with in our hands because it was so cool. We just had to touch the
dry ice to see if it really burned. We stuck knifes in outlets. We melted
lead sinkers rught under our noses, etc, etc
