You can't eat a gravy ring without liking your lips.

I don't like my lips, yet I had gravy last night.

apple pips contain cyanide.
Blue mascara contains cyanide.
Telurium is used for the writing on light bulbs.
Rhubarb contains oxalic acid which is deadly poisonous, which why it needs to be boiled before consumption.
Lillies are deadly poisonous to cats (as is asprin).
Chocolate is deadly poisonous to dogs (baking chocolate being the worse).
Giving half a lemon to a horse is piss funny.
Giving half a lemon to the elephant at lisbon zoo certainly is not.

"All facts on STW are in fact true"

Maybe - DISTINCT POSSIBILITY

Anyway, according to Plutarch, by the time he was 20 Mark Anthony (of Friends, Romans, Countrymen fame) had partied his way into 250 tallents of debt - about £5million in today's terms. Impressive.

Saccades - It's paracetamol that is deadly to cats as they lack the glucuronyl transferase enzyme required to break it down....
Aspirin is just pretty bad for them as they cannot break it down as well so they accumulate it and then die eventually.

(don't ask)
