I never joke about Mercury. Uranus is the butt of my jokes.

Everyone appreciates a good Mooning.

The more levels a pun works on the more it hurts!

[Lorizael]

Dude, come on. That pun is funny on like three different levels.

[DaShi]

You should ban yourself for that one.

A ridiculous thread from Kentonio? Well I never. Also what Gribbler and TMM have said.

You mean "Durrr."

[DaShi]

Don't even joke about mercury. I know coworkers at an old job who were paralyzed or blinded by that stuff.

...

Okay, you can joke about it, but try to stay away from it.

Holy ****! Who was the ****** overseeing that place?

I'm really hopeful that the molten metal in question was ferrous. Otherwise this thread is useless and the story, pointless.

Molten brass, 2100 F. Also, it was a "centrifugal casting mold", which sounds like a metal mold that uses spinning to keep the thing being molded hollow. The explosion was later found not to be, but was suggested because a wall got blown out.

My guess is, a large centrifuge with a mold full of molten bronze probably partly or completely broke free of its moorings, broke a wall, and injured six workers, four of whom went to the hospital and none of whom had life threatening injuries..

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Stains? I don't want to ruin my perfect skin.

[Ben Kenobi]

Uh, I don't want liquid mercury spraying all over me. Fumes.

And liquid Gallium isn't fun either. You want stains all over yourself?

[Dauphin]

Mercury.
