M is also for morbidity

Antifreeze.

It's a useful fluid.

It can:

• act as a coolant to keep cars running,
• solve the problem of ~10,000 cats and dogs that weren't treated to the Price is Right special (it might even be a cure for the show's host), and
• reduce the number of people standing around the water cooler...
  because they would rather be drinking what looks like a very yummy drink. That makes everything much less morbid, right? Especially since I did not make an allusion to Jonestown (bonus points to anyone that helped mix the no name brand kool-aid for the SU elections).

Antifreeze may also have been the inspiration for the poison awareness week banner in this picture. This banner, which was hanging over a main street in Halifax three years ago, reads: Children act fast... so do Poisons.

I'm not sure why poison awareness requires a week. It seems to me that people should either always beware of poison, or it should be a one day awareness thing. My suggestion would be November 18 (bonus points if you get the reference), or if the concern is poison being a contributing factor but not the cause of death then December 16-17 or July 3 (yet more bonus points for trivia-l knowledge).
