CS>Watch Battery Use
From: Wayne Fugitt

Evening Mike, Paul, and all the chemists,

Few people know all the uses for these tiny watch batteries.

I understand  these  batteries  are   used  to  commit  suicide in
primitive countries. All they do is to swallow the battery.

NO one would be that economically minded in the USA.

What is the chemistry effect that causes a small watch  battery to
cause death.

Wayne

Evening Wayne,

It's obvious. User removes battery from watch and swallows it. Fails
to notice the 5-o-clock express is on time and gets squished.

Elementary, Sherlock:)

Best Wishes,

Mike Monett

Mike, I thought you had to swallow the whole watch then the crocodile comes
and gets you?

Cheers,  Roger
