I was transporting one of my carboys the other day and when I made it home I noticed this giant crack in the side. It runs though the glass but there aren't any gaps in it. I highly doubt this would hold up to pressure and I'd be willing to bet that water would probably seep through. Is there anything I can do with this? I'm thinking that even if I were to cover up the cracks with some sort of filler to make it water tight the cracks would still be perfect places for bacteria to hide. should I just toss it? Worst thing is, this happened when I was bringing it home after it was autoclaved (a friend works in a lab).

Toss it. You will only get wrecked beer and sooner or later it will collapse and flood your place anyway...
