bibliophages - 09/01/03 12:34 AM
I know; I know. You already know what bibliophages are. No big deal.
But what you might not know is when little bibliophages grow up, they thrive on strychnine. I was very curious about this--and upon checking out strychnine, learned that it's just still another botanically related outcome from the nightshade family. What's one man's food is another man's poison--only here we're talking animal life responding adversely (or not, as the case may be) to the vegetable kingdom.
Don't mean to bug anyone here with this topic, but I figure we're all somehow related to the prototypes of our own family of bookworms.
