Barely, and it depended on how old it was. Wine oxidizes quickly and becomes vinegar if not stored properly sealed.

Could also contain bacteria................

Charlotte and the girls lead very isolated lives.
Most people have to be pushed into the mode of creativity.
Nowadays, that is made difficult by the constant distraction of the internet. One has to decide to go without for a while, sort of like deciding to Fast from meals.

Nasty food?.......................

[Sacajaweau]

Doesn’t ring true to me. He would have been warm to the touch.

Sounds like botulism

Aha ... that was my thought too.

It was June in Babylon, modern day Iraq, near Baghdad.

EVERYTHING IS WARM TO THE TOUCH................

I can just picture AOC screaming “see, all this could’ve been avoided if he’d had universal healthcare”

Alexander inspired such loyalty in his men they’d follow him anywhere

Well … until they mutinied. The troops finally realized that the glory-intoxicated conqueror never intended to stop. A lot of the men figured, having conquered Persia, that it was time to go home.

A few interesting facts. Aristotle was Alexander’s tutor. It has been speculated that Alexander was poisoned by Aristotle’s nephew with Aristotle being the mastermind of the plot. After Alexander’s death a power struggle between his generals and others that lasted over decade took place, that in itself is a fascinating story.

Sounds like the same illness Hellary had when she collapsed

The whole thing is such a stretch that it is useless, all conclusions based on maybe, perhaps, if, etc.

What’s a boffin anyway? Sounds like some kind of bird.

[webheart]

I would never want to be a scientist in the UK. I think boffin is a horrible insult.

[Verginius Rufus]

Ancient Chinese doctors not only checked a patient's pulse, they diagnosed underlying illness based on the quality of the pulse.

How many Chinese doctors were there in Babylon during Alexander's illness?

Every time I read or hear 'boffin' I think of Puffins:
