A man who stayed in a Las Vegas hotel room where ricin was found is in critical condition at a hospital, where he has been since mid-February, said a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department official.

Oh, ha ha! Nope, still on the old one - but have to scan every few hours if I want to post. So I post real fassstt and then “clean,” so I can read without popups till it starts again.

I believe the ricin showed up because I used the name of “castor beans” in vain just in the past few days, after possibly never posting those words before in my life, lol.

On the “turmeric for an enlarged heart” thread, someone thought turmeric was in Worcestershire sauce and I said no, that’s “tamarind” - then I posted a pic and pointed out that it looks like castor bean pods!

So, *I* did it!

The guy has been ill since the 14th and just now toxin gets found in his motel room? How very odd.

I had a colonoscopy a few months ago (guess where),

I'm guessing in your colon?

[cripplecreek]

I suspect doctors figured out what was wrong with him fairly quickly. The two weeks before tracking him back to the motel is interesting though.

FYI...Information on presser held today given in a previous thread on this topic, but it was taken out of breaking and moved to “CHAT”

I know for a FACT that the terrorists have been working on a ricin attack for some time now. Vegas would be a PERFECT target.

My source is impeccable on this.

I’ve got a very bad feeling in my gut...

Interesting observation on the 'dates' here. Hmmmm. . .

. . .and the dog; odd traveling with 'ricin' and a dog. Do we have at least, his/ name? (Do we know WHAT kind of dog? Perhaps, he was a 'professional'. . .)

[Scarchin]

By terrorists - I mean specifically those in Iraq and Iran right now.

[Red Badger]

I must have worked, I saw very few moles..........

The dog leaves you to think that the person harmed was not an islamic terrorist who was making the poison and going to use it, unless it was a test subject. Nut-jobs do come in other forms than islamic but the dog gives pause to the islamic part because it is considered unclean, though not for killing.

The person's name not being released so many days latter leads one to think otherwise, that he is just the latest islamic terrorist that the government does not want the public knowing about. Which is a really stupid move on the Republicans part. People should know exactly how many of these mall, university, sniper, church and bridge incidents in the last 7 years have been islamic terrorism, because babying Americans has done nothing but help the dems.

[MizSterious]

My first thought was “test subject.”

[Lady Heron]

LOL! Love the tag line!

LOL!! Wayne....the middle name of choice for mass murderers!

[Ann Archy]

HAHAHAHA!!!

[JDoutrider]

I’ve stayed there when my Dear Aunt was in the hospital. Great facility, and, resonable...

[JDoutrider]

That would be “Reasonable”. Lordie! I hate typing on laptops!!

[djf]

Not much at all. It is far, far more poisonous than cyanide.
I would imagine that if there’s enough to be able to see it with the naked eye, that’s more than enough to kill you.

I'm guessing in your colon?

You guys are killing me, but I guess i asked for it! I was talking about getting a colonoscopy in this place:
