                I helped my daughter do a report on Tesla, and couldn't believe the number of contributions this man made to the world, only to have that hack Edison steal his ideas. What a shame that Tesla died without a dime to his name.

                  Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                  I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                      Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is present in several fruits such as cherries, apples, apricots, as well as certain varities of almonds. Hydrogen cyanide is also the less toxic relative to Potassium cyanide (which is extracted from HCN), and is frequently used in gold/silver mining.
