cinnamon



What? What is that used for, other than food? What's the ingredient
that's relevant to the topic at hand?

Cinnamon, in certain quantities, is a poison.

Ya, so is nutmeg. But he was talking about bomb making material. So,
what's the connection?

Hey! Watch out! I have gallons and gallons of dihydrogen monoxide stored
here, and I even brought bottles of it along on my recent flight where I
overflew the airspaces of some major airports!

You think it's not dangerous? Check he http://www.dhmo.org/

Cinnamon AND dihydrogen monoxide (or anything really) can kill in high
enough doses. Cinamon is JUST as dangerous as tweezers.

Cinnamon is used in sticky bombs.

My Organic Chem lab T.A. had us write out the lethal ways that water
can kill you / hurt you on EVERY lab. I'll never forget:

Can cause drowning if inhaled into the lungs in quantities greater
than 2 tablespoons.

Can cause excessive urination if large quantities are consumed.

Can cause kidney failure if EXTREMELY large quantaties are consumed
over a large period of time (12 hours).

You missed one. Actually if you drink enough to cause kidney
failure it will probably get you by destroying your brain. I
forget the medical term for this, but if the blood is dilute
enough, the brain takes water from it by osmosis and swells.
This isn't just theoretical, there was a very high profile case
a few years ago in the UK where a girl on ecstasy drank
about five litres of water in an hour and died in exactly this
way. (Apparently E causes (a) strong thirst and (b)
compulsive behavior).
