One dorm at a university (fau is commonly called "find another university") I went to had to be shut down in 1994 for decontamination, as some students stole mercury from one of the chemistry labs and played with it. I can't find how much it was on the web, but I seem to remember it being about 1 quart of mercury (about 25 pounds).
