January 25th 2009 17:40
Poison is a substance that can cause any disturbances in the normal operation of a body if they are allowed passage. This passage into the body can be of any type. It can be taken from mouth,it can be inhaled or it may even effect any one if touched.
Poisons exist in all three states of matter and and can kill any body if they are taken in enough quantity. Poisonous substance usually have a hazardous sign which everybody is familiar of, so one should take extra car while handling such products and it is rightly warned that these substances are to be kept away from children because you never know what a child may mess up with.
Generally poisons have several classification based on the subject of its study. For example in biology it is distinguished between a toxin and a venom. A venom is a poison associated with a poisonous animal or insect, where as a toxin is a naturally occurring poison.
In chemistry poison refers to any harmful chemical that can cause adverse biological effects in a body if they are allowed passage. For example poisonous chemical gases or liquids.
There are a whole lot of poisons that exist in our homes. You can find poisonous substances mostly in pharmaceutical products or may be in general house hold cleaning agents. So it is necessary that you know which substance is harmful and should be kept at a good safe place.
Generally speaking any thing can be poisonous if taken in a quantity that exceeds our body intake limit. Even food or water can get poisonous if taken in large quantities. But a general question can be thought that what can be the world's deadliest poison?
Well if we talk about toxins than the world's deadliest poison is 'Botulinum'. It is basically a neurotoxin which was produced by scientists as medication in cosmetics. Surprising isn't it? actually Botulinum is used in an anti-wrinkle treatment where certain doses of the toxin are injected at appropriate places to kill cells causing aging wrinkles.
This anti-wrinkle treatment is very popular but of course every thing has it side effects. But speaking about the power of this toxin, it is so deadly that minute doses of it can actually kill the whole population of Earth!!

First, botulinum was not 'produced by scientists'. It is a naturally occuring protein which is excreted by clodistrinum botulinum bacteria, and can be found in some types of contaminated food.
Second, when used for cosmetic procedures, it doesn't kill the cells that cause wrinkles (wrinkles aren't specifically caused by 'cells', but by the wearing of collagen in skin tissue), it temporarily paralyzes underlying muscles so that the skin lying on top will not move, giving the skin after some time a smooth appearance.

Long time no see.
I know I haven't been around much lately
But…it didn't seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I'd just leave you to it, let you be your own boss
But I've been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it's amazing how you've grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I'm afraid have impressed me less.
So I'm writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered
Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
'Cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded
Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn't really think out a long-term plan.
I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop
I didn't know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creator, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers
It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn't know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name
So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology's to mother nature, cause I created YOU
