European Union made year ago another "wise" decision... they forbid the mercury thermometers, because they are supposed to be unhealthy... well maybe if you eat ten of them per day as a medieval cure for your sore throat.
But what is more interesting is, that one daily in the Czech Republic recently made a test of the electronic thermometers and also nurses in hospitals say, that the electronic thermometers are sometimes 2 degrees of Celcius of the scale. Two degrees!!!
Well the mercury thermometer measuers the temperature between 35 and 42 degrees... I guess that the deviation of 2 degrees is hell of a nightmare, because it is quite difference, if you have 36,7 or 34,7 (39 or 41) you name it... it is a difference between healthy (36,7) or a dying person (34,7), or quite ill (39) or dying person... (41).
Really hope I will not break my mercury thermometres I have at home :o).
