[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Lastly, please remember that Socrates himself was "crucified" (in the mortifying the flesh sense) by being forced to drink Hemlock.

I don't know what he drank, but considering his description of the symptons, Socrates did not drink hemlock.

Well, it may not have been hemlock, but he was executed by ingesting poison. Do you dispute this?
