I believe if you check the facts, the typical "fever thermometer" contains between 0.5 to 3 g (.3 to 1.7 dr) of elemental mercury. Swallowing this amount of mercury would, it is said, pose little danger but the inhaling of the vapour could lead to health problems. The glass is more toxic than the mercury.

I do not believe Larry was stating "Global Warming" is NOT occuring, he and others are questioning ManMade Global Warming. There is a difference, do you know what it is?

Don't want to hear all about this measurement mumbo-jumbo. Say what you will - I still wouldn't eat a rectal thermometer.

Which is what I said. But the Glass would cause you more harm than any mercury (if you were eating a pre-1980's thermometer) that might be in it.

If you guys are really concerned about Mercury toxicity, you should avoid walking into any high school science classroom with old wooden floors that was built in the 50's, 60's or 70's. Or wherever those wooden floors were disposed of when those high schools were torn down.
