I had a beautiful purple larkspur (delphinium) which would also be very toxic if ingested (unless you are a gastropod).
Oleander, too, at least if you’re human. Won’t kill you, will make you very, very unhappy. However, it reportedly tastes bitter, so most people aren’t likely to eat it.
And then there’s common foxglove, from which you can extract digitalis…
Not to mention henbane, monkshood, datura and belladonna. There’s a LOT of poison to be had from plants. Poison hemlock, anyone?
Currently reading Death in the Garden by Michael Brown about this subject. Interesting stuff.
Aw, like two gossipy peas in a pod
Well. I hear the wife of one of our SCOTUS justices was so brazenly partisan he was forced to recuse himself from tome very important cases.
…but it’s a secret. 
Really? Who?
There are rumors that Elon Musk was banned from an exclusive Berlin nightclub. He says he wasn’t banned, he declined to attend because they wrote “PEACE” on the wall, and he hates that word.
So he won’t join any club that would have him as a member?
This seems like as good a place as any for this heartwarming story of birthin’ went awry.
A woman delivered her baby between pumps four and five at a Handy Mart gas station in Bridgeton, North Carolina, allegedly after being turned away from a local hospital.
“At 39 weeks and contracting, Lauren Banks and her husband, Steve Banks, went to CarolinaEast to bring their son into the world.”
“She was denied admittance to labor and delivery a couple of times, and she was in obvious pain and labor, and within 30 minutes of her being home her water broke,” the father told WITN…
“When the parents questioned the hospital’s prior judgment, they say the hospital offered to detail their car in return.”
Seems like a pretty sweet deal, so why are those ungrateful parents bitching? It’s not like Handy Mart offered them free milk for a year.
See, this is the kind of detail that lends verisimilitude to a legitimate piece of well-researched journalism.
I’ve grown castor before. They get big, like 8-10 feet tall. Sort of like pokebery, but with much woodier stems.
He has his father’s eyes.
They didn’t say in the article what the baby’s name was, but I’d name him Andy Martin.
well, his father no longer needed them anyway
HAIL SATAN!
Somehow, I context read ‘pumps’ as ‘contractions’ and couldn’t figure out why a scary fast delivery was stupid until I got to the bit about the hospital turning them away. I assume (refuse to research) that it was an insurance thing.
Which was supposed to have gone in a CS thread but hey why not spread the fun here.
It worked… sorta.
When I saw where the facility offered to get their car detailed, I thought the whole story was that these new parents are so stupid that they drove to an auto repair shop, mistaking it for a hospital. So of course the shop turned them away, saying “Sorry, we don’t work on those models here, but we can still offer you a detail job.” So they wandered around to the pumps out back and dropped their load there.
