The BROKEN Mercury Thermometer.

Chemistry practical today.
We had to measure to do Thermometric Titration.


Guess what? Miss Nat didn't even know that I had broken a thermometer RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
I was recording the results, and the Mercury that leaked out of the thermometer had 'rolled' on to my piece of paper, AND I HAD NOT REALISED IT...
Until...

Mrs Pillai started walking around my area, and screamed: (points at my paper) "OH MY GOODNESS! What is that! Is that Mercury!! Did you know it's poisonous?"

Me: "OH MY GOODNESS! REALLY?! AHH!" Sits there and I was still in contact with the Mercury)

Mrs Pillai: "Go away. It's poisonous." (Turns and talks to class now) "Girls, have you ever heard of this man who broke the thermometer and injected the mercury collected from it into his father's bloodstream? His father became paralysed."

Class: (gasps)

Well, yeah. I still sat there like an idiot, for nearly 5 minutes.
And Mrs Pillai said: "Nathalie! Don't stand there and look so mournful, go to another empty table to do your work."

Me: (pouts)


And towards the end of Chemistry lesson, Zinnia sang the song "You're beautiful" by James Blunt, but she somehow changed the lyrics.

"You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's true.
And I saw your face, in the Chemistry lab.
To save you from mercury."

It's Out-Of-Point!


Haha, guess I should have just swallowed that mercury right then right there.
Before anything like this happens again, I shall write my will (not that I'm of legal age or anything like that).
But if I ever do become full body paralysed, please conduct euthanasia on me! Will love you people for the rest of my life!


Anw, if any of you 4e6-ers in my Physics class are reading this! Please bring $3.50 tmr for the Physics notes! I've bargained, and got the best price for you guys already! You only have to pay $3.50 down from a $4! Imagine the amount of money the company is losing... $0.50*24=$21. ALOT OF MONEY PPLE!!
