I must demur.  Given what we now know, sticking a glass tube with mercury
into any human orifice is dumb.  Except in Ann Arbor, of course.

John,
The idiocy of banning mercury has reached new heights in Ann Arbor,
Michigan.
After a small mercury spill in a nearby school, the Ann Arbor city council
passed
a resolution banning mercury thermometers. Owners of mercury fever
thermometers
may trade theirs in for a non-Hg version at no charge. The idocy of it
boggles the
mond.
