PRICELESS

First!
Second !
Turd !
The cyanide anion is an inhibitor of the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase (also known as aa3) in the fourth complex of the electron transport chain (found in the membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells). It attaches to the iron within this protein. The binding of cyanide to this cytochrome prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. Tissues that mainly depend on aerobic respiration, such as the central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate.

A quote to warm the science teacher’s heart!
He fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Russian when death is on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
*thud*
And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned!
They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.
that is EXACTLY what i thought as soon as i saw this pic. Princess Bride for the win.
Do you think they’ll make it?
It will take a miracle!
but it wasnt russian, it was…oh how do you spell it…that lil island off italy…they make pizza and mafia
Sicily.
Yaaaah bitter troll forgot to spell it, and seen a grammer nazi walken round…so bitter troll figured to not maybe use bad grammer …cause them nazi people be scarey
Mafia people scary too.
Not to members of the Union Siciliano they aren’t.
My favorite is when Westley says that it’s odorless and tasteless and all that and then Prince Humperdink rolls on up and sniffs it saying “Iocane powder; I’d bet my life on it!”
You know, Princeth Bride ith mandatory watching for young Igorth. It gets us excited about poithon and reanimation and all.
And swordfights using the non-dominant hand!
Or a six-fingered hand.
Hmm. I wonder what could be done with that extra finger…
*has uncontrollably dirty DIRTY thoughts*
I’m sure it’d be a, erm, shock.
Lynn always says “Lick it when he says that… She is not fond of him and loves that movie.”
putin is probably immune to all poisons he would probably sip it then say “ah 1940 was a good year for cyanide” as your choking on your own fluids
A Russian-Chinese alliance=world screwed.
A Russian-Chinese alliance = USA screwed
No. Russian-Chinese alliance = USA, and many of our more powerful allies screwed.
BUT! Happier note! Putin probably is immune to whatever toxins are in that drink, and therefore can keep giving us funny LOL’s every Saturday here on PK. YAY!
No, it’s world screwed.
Russia and China are part of the world… and they wouldn’t be screwed?
Besides, the EU has been pretty good at being everybody’s friend lately, and Canada and Australia aren’t really threatening to anybody, so they’d be left alone too.
In the impending geopolitical fall-out, we’d invade Canada, China would get Australia, and Russia would get the EU. Hey, why did we get stuck with Canada?!?
Heh go ahead, invade Canada. You’ll have left by the time the first winter ends. You get 2 inches of snow overnight and it’s the end of the world… 2 inches in an hour is a light flurry in the Great White North (white should be the keyword there).
Hmm, come to think of it, ever notice how Canada is both bigger AND on top of the US? heh.
Where I’m from two flakes is a blizzard, but we do have heartier folks in our northern regions. My aunt from Indiana told me of having to leave her house from its second story during one particularly bad snow storm.
That said, we’d do the same thing to Canada we did to Alaska: appoint governors like Palin. How d’you like that threat?
Already got Harper.
(mind you… the scary thing is he’s better than any current alternative)
Doesn’t anybody play Fallout? If so, you’d all know China will invade Alaska, US will annex Canada (probably for the maple syrup), Russia will just sit back and laugh, and after ten yrs, China will just say “screw this” and start tossing nukes out the ying-yang. After that, U.S. starts nuking Errbody.
Just saying…
Pfft. China’s already got us right where they want us. They don’t have to attack us. They already own us.
Well, not really.
China ranks about the same as Mexico in terms of % of American trade, it’s just they hold a (relatively) large amount of debt.
Basically China has way way more to lose than the United States does. From the point of view of the rest of the world, China could disappear and we’d arguably be better off (hopefully their economy becomes more balanced in future).
Putin doesn’t wonder. Putin knows.
You should all be ashamed that you spelled Vladurday wrong.
Ummm…that’s not Hu Jintao, either. That’s their Secretary of State, Wen Jiao Bao.
Does that make the poison less poisonous?
Well, yes. Any diplomat worth his/her salt is going to build up an immunity to the most common poisons.
We could only hope. . .
What he didn’t know was that I’ve spent the last several years building up an immunity to Iocaine powder.

I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT! *highfive*

poison, no, anger, yes.
