Broken Thermometer Causes 100 to Respond to Mercury Spill

Oh, my. This has to go under 'Humor', but there's a bitter quality to this laugh. Sometimes I think that Western Civilization will meet it's ultimate doom by scaring itself to death...

It was quite a New Year's Eve at the home of Richard Berger in Carmel - in Putnam County. Someone in the house broke a rectal thermometer and the family called 911 around 10:30 to report the small mercury spill.
