The other day the kids were sitting around the table and I overheard Shmoo talking about poisonous substances. He informed his brothers that there was a substance called Venus that was toxic.
I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. The atmosphere on Venus? Venus fly traps? Then he informed them that it wasn't the planet Venus. I was even more puzzled.
Then he said that Venus used to be used in thermometers.
Ohhhh. He meant mercury! :)
hahaha! I like it!
