Mercurial Madness

In this case, the mercury isn't causing madness so much as plain ol' retardation:

An antique clock spilling mercury was the cause of a major health scare today which caused the evacuation of some residents and for a 75 metre exclusion cordon to be put in place.

“Residents are asked to avoid the area if they are on foot on in a vehicle.”

The advice came after a warning for people in the city to stay indoors with their windows locked and doors closed until further notice. Schools in the city were also on lock down earlier today with no children being allowed in or out.

Go read the entire article. It's like an outtake from a Monty Python script.
