    He killed himself with cyanide.

      Yeah, but that always seemed a little, well, ODD to me, you know?

      1) Most poisons are almost always administered. People who commit suicide aren't exactly looking to suffer MORE just to gain an end.

      Cyanide Description: As a gas, cyanide is colorless and has a sharp, pepper-like odor. There are two kinds of cyanide, hydrogen cyanide and cyanogen chloride (cyanogen chloride turns into hyrdogen cyanide inside the body).

      Effects: They are blood agents that interfere with the use of oxygen in the body. But cyanogen chloride has strong irritating and choking effects on the eyes and respiratory tract, unlike hyrdogen cyanide. Liquid forms of cyanide will burn skin and eyes. Cyanide acts quickly, but only large amounts are deadly. Cyanide poisoning can be treated with inhaled amyl nitrate, or intravenous sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate.

      I just have a hard time believing that he would have taken such a painful and grisly way out (I mean, given the option, seppuku actually sounds pretty good...)

          the pain isnt that bad, if you consider how fast it kills... CIA and KBG used it (or planned to use it) for assasinations and stuff.

                  agreed, Azazel. You're only what you consider yourself.

                  Myself, I like to think of myself as a bit above a beginner and far, far below expert:

                  Sophomoron.

                  That's me!

                    I'm not a Softmoron. I don't have enough fat to be soft. I guess that makes me a Hardmoron.

                              I apperciate the "King" title, though. That's why the "other games" forum is good.

                                BTW: St_Leo:

                                I'll buy you the Netherlands for your birthday right after I win that Oscar for Best Actress in a Comedic Political Spoof Movie, ok?

                                Will you be content with Norway? I hear Bill Gates will buy that for you if you ask real nice

                                'noob' rhymes with 'boob'.
