--- You know Socrates immortal last words, don't you? ---

No. I saw the story done on SNL with Steve Martin.

He drank the hemlock and then suggested to his followers that they should go get some pizza.

One of them said "But Socrates, hemlock is poison!"

At which he exclaimed "Hemlock is poison?!?? Why didn't anyone tell me this?!?! Everyone always asks me questions, but nobody ever tells ME anything...couldn't you just once have said "Oh Socrates, by the way, hemlock is poison!?!?
