As long as the failure isn't the result of breakage of the glass envelope, and as long as the expired lamp doesn't end up in a landfill, where it will undoubtedly be broken. And to think they used to let us roll little blobs of mercury around in the palms of our hands in school to show us what it looked like. And I distincly remember mixing chopped up asbestos with water to use as a sort of modeling medium, which we made into small objects...ashtrays mostly, for our parents!
