You can't kill yourself with mouse poison, you would start puking it up before you could ingest enough for it to have the same effect it has on mice. (the stuff based on warfarin anyways)

I majored in math. Infinity is not defined as a number. It is not part of the real number line or the complex number plane, but extensions of them.

from wikipedia:
Infinity is the state of being greater than any finite (real or natural) number, however large.

When I get home tonight I can look up and post a real proof out of one of my many math books if you need that.

Goldfish remember more than that. The ones in my pond go dormant in the winter and don't eat. But, in the Spring they see me and follow me around the pond and start congregating and milling around expecting to get feed.
