Foo - How to clean thousands of small glass shards?

I know I should have turned off the ceiling fan BEFORE moving the fluorescent tubes around. Anyway... thousands of really small glass shards all over the place. I'm on the 3rd sweeping now and is like they are multiplying.

sweeping is pretty ineffective for tiny shards of glass. It simply redistributes them over what is becoming a larger area.
Use a vacuum.
leaf blower + safety glasses

:roflmao:
Also you might find using yourself as a lint roller quite helpful too. :D
Coat yourself in peanut butter, roll around to collect the thousands of tiny shards, let the dog lick them off and poop them out, dispose of poo, and PBR yourself ASAP.
Too bad there wasn't anybody around with a camera ready right @ 0.1 seconds into the incident. I'm sure my face expression must have been epic...
put really expensive tires on your bike and roll it around the area. that is sure to attract any stray shards.
ARG! :mad::mad::mad:
Now it seems I've forgotten to install a filter on the vacuum. Shards of glass are no more, but everything is covered with a fine dark dust.

Hard floors, no carpet. I mopped to get the dust out... now I'm dusting, well, more like cleaning everything up with wet napkins. And I mean EVERYTHING! this dust got everywhere, living rrom, kitchen, den, rooms, everywhere...
I only wanted to change a light bulb :(

It's the only way to be sure.

Cover yourself with peanut butter and roll around on the floor to pick up the shards of glass.
Sorry Rubester,you must relocate now.
Mercury dust/vapor has now infested the room.
Leave the property neeked as your clothes(and hers) are now tainted.

You really know how to tease a Kraut Rube:(

Siu,even men like to feel they have potential "voyeur" desire of women.
You have dashed the Rubes vision as an elite playa with that statement.
So he's not Ricky Ricardo but he has something going on down there.Just what "something" is keeps us tuning in here in Foo.
Oh come on... I just need to lose 100 pounds and re-grow hair. :D
I can see it Rube:thumb:Hair-plugs are the rage in America now.
Brutalized by 3 ex-wives can leave a few nicks and dings but you can make a comeback.

The glass was taken care of by the vacuum, it just released this dark dust all over. Wet napkins worked for the fine dark dust. It took some time, but I got it done. Mop for the floors.

Tell me about it... my hair used to be abundant:

After it started to decay, I took some promotional photos but it was not the same:

Just relocate the absent hair issue.Get the mustache and go-tee thing going on.A few splashes of Old Spice,cargo shorts,tie-dye sleeveless tee and you're ready for the Copa Cabanna again.

Save that "glow in the dark" dust to put on your face at night and scare the crap out of the neighbors.
