The Poison Pen: How Confident Are We About Iocane?
We report a retrospective case series of exposures to iocane powder, a deadly, odorless, tasteless, and absolutely fictional poison [1]. A 10-year review of an imaginary Sicilian Poison Center database revealed 32 exposures, coincidentally all ingestions from wine goblets. There were 29 (90.6 %) patients with no clinical effects, 2 (6.3 %) with minor effects, 1 (3.1 %) with a moderate effect and 0 with major effects. No deaths occurred and no patient suffered permanent sequelae. These data show that iocane exposure is not universally fatal, as previously thought. Given the apparent relative safety, with less than 10 % of patients experiencing clinical effects, poison centers may choose to allow asymptomatic exposed patients to be observed at home.

A Teaspoon of Water
In some other life, when I am some other writer, I am going to have to come to terms with water: to cope with it as a metaphor, to make it flow where and how I want it to flow, sometimes seeming to pour down stairs the way the Gallatin River does in the mountains above Bozeman, Montana, or sometimes barely moving, brooding and moody like a Mississippi River backwater below Winona, Minnesota. In some other life, I am going to have to come to terms with water once and for all. It’s too simple and complex for me now.

Book Review
Super bowls
The reasons why guys secretly love Tupperware are discussed. The idea of keeping food fresh has nothing to do with why men like Tupperware; there is something about the orderliness of the Tupperware universe that appeals to guys.
