In my primary school science class, they poured mercury into our hands and we each had a turn playing with it for a while.

I also just remembered I had this toy maze thing where you had a blob of mercury that you needed to get to the centre like those ball-bearing mazes. Yep, a child left unattended with a blob of mercury and nothing but a layer of simple clear plastic stopping the kid from drinking the stuff.

Obligatory Bandit.
