Amy Stewart, author of the book Wicked Plants
In fact, there's a woman on death row in California right now who attempted to murder her husband with oleander, it made him sick enough to land him in the hospital but she eventually had to kill him with antifreeze.
Did you know that Abraham Lincoln's mother was killed by a plant?
This is a plant called white snakeroot - cows that graze on white snakeroot will become sick, the poison will get into their milk and people who drink the milk will get sick. So this was actually a pretty common ailment called "milk sickness" and it could wipe out entire families so Abraham Lincoln's mother died of "milk sickness" when Abe was nine years old.
The primary reason some plants are so dangerous is for survival. For instance tobacco plants produce nicotine as a pesticide to keep bugs off the plant.
And in the United States you used to be able to buy nicotine-based pesticides to spray on your plants to kill bugs but it's so dangerous that it's been taken off the shelves as a pesticide.

With expected releases such as the limited “Bin 23″ Air Jordan 9 and let’s not forget about the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Infrared” Pack. So with all pairs dropping this June, we now get another June Air Jordan release.
The Air Jordan Flight SC-1 has been adored by many people, especially the basketball players. During the month of May, we have seen a couple Flight SC-1s. With the month coming to an end, this probably is the last colorway of May. This latest Air Jordan Flight SC-1 comes in a Black/Red/Grey colorway.
Is anyone else fed up with 9s or am I the only one? Well

if you love the 9s so much, this is your year. Just yesterday we got new images of the OG colorway Air Jordan IX Retro. Well now we have new images of the “Un-Powder” Air Jordan IX, which features a reverse colorway of the Powder Blue 9s, which are set to release this Saturday. I personally don’t like this colorway of the Air Jordan IX, but some people are bound to like. The sneaker sports an upper made of nubuck with patent leather used on the mudguard. Rumor has it that these 9s will be limited to just 2,000 pairs. Check out the newest images of the “Un-Powders” and let us know what you think.
This Flight SC-1 features a mesh like material on areas such as the toe box, side panel, and heel panel. The rest of the sneakers base uses black patent leather on the tongue, toe area, and just above the midsole. Other features include white contrast stitching, grey midsole, and a black outsole. Red accents appear on the tongue Jumpman and inner lining. Take a look at some more images after the jump and tell us if you think this is the best Flight SC-1 yet.
