"Can cause symptoms of cyanide poisoning" will always be my favourite way to say "causes cyanide poisoning".

Having experienced "symptoms of cyanide poisoning", I can assure you there is no way you'll be in a state to go see a doctor. There also won't be much he can do about it.

Drank coffee that was spiked with sodium azide, which acts in a very similar way as cyanide, can't recommend it.

DigitalRaven posted:There’s got to be a story behind this. Who tried to kill you and why? An ex-intern from our lab came back like 9 months after his intership had ended because he got it into his head that we published his data without adding him to the authors (his work was of such terrible quality that all of it had been thrown out, nothing has ever beena used for publications). He did a bunch of bullshit, trying to destroy samples and stuff, and also dumped our sodium azide stock into the coffee machine. He did that on a Friday, late in the evening, and on Monday I was one of the first to drink my coffee. I drank a single gulp because luckily it had a loving awful taste, but in a minute I was completely unable to do anything (and I was like 1m95 90 kg at the time). My tension dropped so low that the nurse couldn't find a pulse anymore and I have never been this cold ever, even though I was inside under several coats. It sucked.

Sodium azide is loving covered in warnings about its toxicity right on the packages, let alone the MSDS and protocols. I don't think there's any lab tech on Earth who could know about it and not realize that poo poo could kill people, even one as dumb and/or troubled as this dude sounds like he is.

My dad told me one of those STDH stories today where the teller comes off worse than the story's antagonist. When Dad was in grad school, he helped run a film society that showed classic films. During a screening, a patron kept guffawing at every line in the song "They Can't Take That Away From Me." Dad scolded him, telling him "this was voted the #2 best song in movie history. People are trying to pay attention to it. Be quiet!" And then everyone in the theater stood up and clapped

My dad, when he was in better health used to tell amazing stories from his travels. Most of them I assume are made up, but they were told very well so I never minded. Some of those which I remember (these were all supposed to have happened in the 1960's and 1970's): - Visiting East Berlin when checkpoint charlie was suddenly closed and he couldn't get back to West. He spent a few days sleeping on the streets before meeting with Soviet human traffickers in a seedy bar who got him to west Germany. - Spending the night under the stars in an abandoned half finished hotel in central Mexico when the Mexican bus driver refused to take them to Mexico City before nightfall. Coyotes were of course circling the structure. - Warding off an attempted robbery in Guatemala by swinging a bag full of canned food at the attackers and scaring them away (not sure if there were hits or not). - Having to turn back from a port in "Yemen or Saudi Arabia" when someone released a flock of pigs into town trying to spark a revolution. - When he was a tour guide on a tourist ship in Norway, a dutch passenger in his tour group suddenly went missing when they were in the far north. My dad was then detained and questioned for many hours as it was suspected that the Dutch tourist was either a spy or defector to the Soviet Union. - During military service my dad was set to guard the Norwegian royal summer residence. One beautiful summer day, he took off his top, and took a nap while on guard. He was them woken up by the then king of Norway who had a friendly chat with him about the nice weather. I know that he has been to all those places, and he did a lot of travel and had different jobs. Did any of the stories above happen though? Probably not, but I also don't really care as the stories were always so entertaining to hear.

My brother's wife is a fountain of stdh, all about him. Every time we meet there's some new story about how he ate 32 pieces of pizza in one sitting or him saying some wacky thing in his sleep, or seeing the ghost that supposedly haunts her parents' house. It's all such boring poo poo that nobody ever says "no he didn't" but we all know she's just making it up. I just want to know why.

Slime posted:Mental illness. She literally can't just tell the truth, it's a compulsion to make this poo poo up. A friends > Wife's > Brothers > Wife Had that but the stuff she chronically made up was like "They were over at my place and they stole a gold ring of mine. I know it because it was on the table when they came over and then it was gone when they left. I checked the pawn shop in town and the clerd said one of them come down and tried to sell a ring with a matching inscription like mine" or "The wife beats their children. They were over here and the daughter had a huge bruise on her back. When I asked what had happened she looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and the mother quickly shushed her and shock her fist at the daughter" Like real criminal stuff and this stuff travels like wildfire through the grapevine. At this point they are genuinely worried of seeing her because it's the people she interacts with that get in her crosshairs. And she turns the lies into these juice STDH tales that people can't help to spread even if they themselves feel that they probably aren't true.
