Pot-Shots by Ashleigh Brilliant for November 13, 2024

I’m using beer, wine, whisky and… look, you know what I’m talking about, so please keep your filthy giggles to yourself – salted nuts.

I’m not really in a rush, is what I’m saying. But I’m working on it, I’ll get there. Eventually.

Chocolate overdose is for amateurs!

Everything has a LD50. Dodgy science based on tests with rats puts it at 1,000 mg/kg of body weight for theobromine, which is what would kill you in this scenario, and there’s between 2 and 6mg per gram depending on how nice your chocolate is. So for a 70kmg human that’s be maybe … 1.75kg? That seems low, I think I made an error somewhere.

The excessive sugars in chocolates will sure kills ya.

I’m with Izzy. Saving the money is the hard part, but I’m almost at the best part.

In the Discworld novel, Thief of Time, someone does commit suicide by diving into a large vat of chocolate.

I would die with Cinnabon on my last breath.

It doesn’t work. I’ve been trying for years.

I don’t think it will work, but I sure have fun trying.

The LD-50 for theobromine (the potential poison in chocolate) is about 330 Hershey’s dark chocolate bars, or several pounds of the stuff.
