I bought a traditional alcohol thermometer for home health use yesterday.

It seems to be stuck at 98.9F.

Yes, I shook it down.

Yes, I ran it under cool water.

Yes, I've done these things multiple times.

What the hell?

Uhhhh, probably it's in the paper recycling bin? I don't really want to go back to the store though, on account of having better things to do....

It's much cheaper to just paint the line at something comforting than to actually fill the thermometer.

::blinks rapidly:: that's interesting ... that ... shouldn't be physically possible.

Wonder if there's possibly a hairline crack in it somewhere?

I have the hardest time with traditional thermometers. Usually being stuck like that means they are crazy old and/or cracked somewhere.
