What was the poison that paralyzed the princess? No fairytale here – there are real world possibilities to consider, toxins known back in the days that people were spinning such tales of magic and murder. Could it have been a plant poison like hemlock? That poison, used in the 399 B.C. execution of the Greek philosopher Socrates, caused a creeping paralytic numbness in his body as he died. Or an extract from the black henbane plant, known since the 1st century A.D. to induce sleep and numb pain. A pinch of opium, a dusting of mandrake root, that twisted member of the deadly nightshade family?
Guppies! Incestuous Guppies!
repeat after me:
The Guppy by Ogden Nash
Whales have calves,
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,
Swans have cygnets,
Seals have puppies,
But guppies just have little guppies.
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,

Seals have puppies,
But guppies just have little guppies.
