Sinking February 1, 2007
Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , trackbackThe weight of all the piled-up schoolwork is overwhelming. I’m sinking. And yet I had a few minutes to read about something yucky yet somewhat interesting:
Weapon of Mass Doo-Doo
Mussolini famously used castor oil as a weapon of sorts against political dissidents in Italy in the 1920s. Fascist operatives would capture their opponents and force-feed them a large quantity of castor oil. This produced severe diarrhea—in some cases, severe enough to cause death. (When the explicit goal was to murder someone rather than scare them, a little gasoline was mixed into the castor oil for good measure.)
ack. Amusing though. Haha. read the entire thing here.
And now I shall get back to work. :P
