Comments:

Poison still happens. Not too long ago the Commies killed a bloke called Georgi Markov by firing a tiny pellet coated with ricin into his leg. The pellet was fired from an umbrella. London has lots of umbrellas, but I am not too scared. The gravest danger is of some hurrying fool putting my eye out. Since 1066 that's another English tradition.
 
In Italy it is bad manners to pour wine backhanded, apparently because of Cesare Borgia's poisoning gimmick with his ring.
 
I hear tell Lucrezia spilled a drop or two on the bread-basket next to the soup bowl, whereupon the bread began coughing and spluttering all over the table. Eventually foamed blood at the crust and collapsed on the table. Lucrezia's verdict: "That was not well bread."
 
One of the proposed ingredients of the Borgia poison La Cantarella was phosphorus. US army just steals and cheats to get ideas- plagiarists.
 
Was Cesare some sort of contortionist?

I hate dinner parties. Why not kill off the pompous bores, at least it means you won't get an invitation back.
