About an hour or two ago, they reported someone involved as saying the ricin test is extremely inaccurate, and that it was premature to say it was positive before retesting the envelope.

For a fourth time?

They've had false positives up to six times.  Those ion sniffers can get all gunked up over time.

It was probably one of Raz's Occupy buddies.

See if you can find the post where I endorsed the Occupy groups.  Go ahead, see if you can.

:lol:  How's it feel, homeslice?

I feel fine.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Never solved that I'm aware of.
They did.  It was some guy who worked at a federal lab in DC.  Bruce something or other.  When the FBI was closing in on him he committed suicide.

How odd.  I'm completely blanking on that.

Yeah, Ivins checked himself out once he heard the indictment was on its way.  It was definitely him.

Hell of a case, though.  Go look for the Frontline piece they did on him and the investigation.  Veddy interestink.

Oh... maybe that's what the Brain meant when he mentioned rice paper?
