snowman24 Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 09:08 am I would vote rubbed with mercury ...popular thing to do 30-40 years ago I remember my science class had big bowl of mercury and everyone played with it now if that situation happened today..the school would probably be condemned Report this Post to the Staff
