: : : : : : : : Hmmmm... was it Fayah?

: : : : : : : : Now SHE could give me SOME dates. ;)

: : : : : : : What poison do you think they used on the dates? Dr. Menegel's finest? ;)

: : : : : My guess is maybe Arsenic, which makes me think of "Arsenic and Lace"! Oh, how I love that Cary Grant dude! ;)

: : : : Arsenic doesn't work so fast. It's good poison for killing someone slowly over time. I think it may have been an alkaloid or strychnine.
: : : : FG

: : Arsenic addiction was quite a common complaint in both Victorian England and Gilded Age Norfolk. In fact, I once wrote a paper concerning this topic.
: : But as for the poison used by the Nazis' lackey in Cairo, I wouldn't know what he'd use. I've always preferred nightshade.

: You know, maybe that assassin got hold of some poison dart frog toxin from his South American connection. The same actor was in the "South American" jungle, right? The Choco Indians of Colombia use frog toxin to hunt monkies... The Egyptian monkey dies... Thus the date poison was Amazonian frog toxin (the most toxic member of the group is Phyllobates terribilis)! Quod erat demonstrandum, I say!

Well, what did the poison look like? Wasn't it some sort of red fluid, or am I not remembering things correctly? I'm not up on my poisons, however, so ellephino.
