Today's Elvish Lesson

When someone passed around an Elvish joke on Tumblr, tseecka at My Own Little World decided to set the record straight. She goes on to explain exactly how one really would say "Can I touch your butt?" in Elvish, and why.

That's one thing I love about the internet. No matter how obscure the subject, there is always someone with extended knowledge who is willing to share it with the rest of us. Buzzfeed has a roundup of instances where commenters added useful, mind-blowing, and possibly even factual explanations for viral images in 17 Times Tumblr Explained A Thing Better Than School.

Liquid mercury is relatively safe. It's the gaseous form that is dangerous because it can be inhaled directly into the bloodstream. If you break a mercury thermometer, scoop up the droplets. Vacuuming will just disperse the mercury as a fine mist into the room where it can be inhaled.

Mercury is about as toxic as lead. Avoid eating it or breathing its vapor for long periods, and it's sensible to wear gloves handling it and wash afterward, but there's no need for panic - casual handling of mercury metal is not going to hurt you.
