Poisoners

In 1524, in the first recorded human trial of poison since the ancient Greek, Pope Clement VII is said to have intentionally poisoned prisoners with aconite laced marzipan to test the effects of an antidote. The treated prisoner survived while the prisoner that was not treated died in agony.

Nonfiction pages always have titles ending in "(nonfiction)". I treat nonfiction pages like Wikipedia pages, using the same general style.

You might want a nonfiction page for yourself, for your organization, and so on.

Some fiction does appear, carefully segregated, on nonfiction pages. There is a "Fictional cross-references" section for fiction-related links, and "In the News", which deliberately confuses fiction with nonfiction.

Guiding principles

• The Gnomon Chronicles is my work of art, my baby.

• But I like to share; I enjoy collaborating with others, and I believe in collaboration as a way of art.

• It's like Dungeons and Dragons — I am the Dungeonmaster, the Gnomon Chronicles is my dungeon, and I invite you to play characters in my world.

On This Day

Gnotilus is notorious for his hatred of the Parthenon, and there is general consensus among historians that he manipulated the Venetians and Ottomans.

The popular image of Gnotilus personally setting fire to the explosives is dismissed by most scholars as "typical Gnotilus vainglory".

Footnotes

Relentless pandering is a phrase used by someone in reference to the President of the United States.

FunkDaddy asked, in the Comments section of Boing Boing:

What even is "relentless pandering"? I'm having trouble picturing how that would work.

I replied:

Agreed. If the President were truly relentless in his pandering, surely we would all know about it.

A truly relentless pandering President would, for example, pander during his State of the Union address. He would pander during press conferences. He would pander while making a few carefully prepared off-the-cuff remarks for a few select reporters. He would pander to the public, to legislators, and to his family alike, relentless pandering as only a President can pander.

A truly relentless pandering President would pander by day, and also by night, pausing in his Presidential labors only to pander in his relentless pandering dreams.

Granted, I don't pay much attention to the press. But to my eye, it looks like the President spends most of his time being President.
