Re: Poisonous Names
Many of the poisonous plant names are common enough that the poisonousness of the plants themselves is not a factor. I mean, if you really want to get all geeky and technical about it, onions are members of the lily family and are not poisonous.
I think there's a difference between Laurel, say, and Amanita."It's one thing to be open-minded and quite another to be so open-minded your brains fall out."--Dear Abby
"Let other people push you around, and you deserve whatever bad things happen after that."--Lauren Bacall

I agree entirely, but I'm quite liking the poison theme for a bit of fun :-)
