Honestly, you've got to have words with that grandmother of yours - she really needs to be told that it's not a good idea to put glasses of cyanide next to a glass of lemonade. It's an easy mistake to make, as you've just found out. Granny's book of poisons tells you that you've got between three and four minutes left to live (typically book - never exact in their timings). So...what are you going to do in those three to four minutes? Hurry up, time's ticking...

Commit Hari-Kiri (sp?)

Drink the antidote. :)

Take some guns and shoot the dogs next door for keeping me up late with all that barking.

Watch as my life flies by before my inner eye. Then die. :p

put up my hammock and just fall asleep on my balcony, enjoying the sunshine and not having to worry about putting on sunlotion ;)

Masturbate.

put up my hammock and just fall asleep on my balcony, enjoying the sunshine and not having to worry about putting on sunlotion ;)

And then die from the horrible painful spasms induced by cyanide? Not very fun if you ask me...

Plus, if you can fall asleep in less than 3-4 minutes, I envy you SO much right now (*takes at least three hours to get to sleep*)

I'd probably stick my hand down my throat and spend the few minutes franticly trying to chunder it up.

Well, first I'd think "Oh shit!"
Then I'd probably start convulsing and spasming on the ground due to the poison.
Then I'd die.

hmm...didn't think about the spasm part. might be kind of hard falling asleep then ;)

Tell off and a beat to a pulp to all the people I don’t like.

Masturbate.
In 4 minuates?? your quick!!! :fluffle: hmm I'd smack the granny lots of times... :mad: daft cow killing me *whack*

Tell off and a beat to a pulp to all the people I don’t like.
that's not that many if you can do that in 4 minutes time;)

Masturbate.
I was going to say that, but I didn't want to lower the tone of the thread...

By the way...is this before or after you're trapped in that cell, and when you're about to be executed....?

We're working on the assumption that you have multiple lives.

You forgot the wise man down the man hole...;)

You forgot the wise man down the man hole...;)
Maybe I'll go back to him and ask him for a 4 minute cure to cyanide poisoning that you can make with everyday household items, and a way to get out of that cell.

I'd drink the lemonade. Afterall, that's what I wanted to do in the first place. I mean, come o--*spasms*

that's not that many if you can do that in 4 minutes time;)
well true :P but then again there's not much you can do in 4 mins

I was going to say that, but I didn't want to lower the tone of the thread...

I was going to say it too, but I'd probably drink the antidote first.

Still, some people find 'beat the clock' to be a thrilling experience. :eek:

Masturbate.
If you could achieve that succesfully in the four minutes before your certain death, then you have what I would call a one-track mind! :p

Masturbate.
Having thought about this, I think there may be some more pressing issues at hand, which may stop me, uh, performing. Like, why the hell has my granny got cyanide out in the kitchen? Why has she got it anyway? Oh yeah, and my impending death. But I think that's really only a side issue.

I'd play nationStates in my last hours. Or watch "Kill Bill"...I'd get to the credits...

You'd be lucky to reach the theme tune in four minutes.

I'd at least get to see Bill blow half her head off.

If anyone wants to read Davo-301 words, just highlight it.

I think I would play a joke. Something that would make the investagating paramedics or cops really scratch their heads. Quickly though! I would grab a trash bag and poke holes out for my arms and head, placing it over my body. Then I would take a bunch of post it notes and attach them to my body and costurme. On them they would read "I'm a california raisin!"

Doesn't cyanide have a distinctive odor, or something? Also, while I don't know the law, I wouldn't be surprised if I was told that cyanide is a controlled substance in most jurisdictions.

If I'm only going to be around for four minutes, at most, I'd probably write a quick note saying that it's a bad idea to put the cyanide next to the lemonade and that that mistake resulted in my death. Given that we're dealing with someone stupid enough to have cyanide in the first place and to leave it next to the lemonade, this person would also be stupid enough to not necessarily know what killed me.

Besides, if I know that someone keeps a supply of cyanide on hand, I would be very suspicious of any beverages or food items in that house.

It probably is a controlled substance, but it's possible to make cyanide gas with just plums and Canderel (artificial sweetener available in the UK).

How about you then??? *throws I V Stalin out of the window* ah that felt better :fluffle: :D :D :D ;) ;) :p :p :gundge:

*plummets to inevitable death*
Thanks. Now I don't have to worry about the cyanide :p

Take some guns and shoot the dogs next door for keeping me up late with all that barking.

Shoot Kejott before he shoots the dogs next door for keeping him up late with all that barking.

*plummets to inevitable death*

--The Democratic States of CogitationIt smells like rotten almonds, but not everyone can smell it. Being one of the less intelligent people here, I've smelt it, I'd liken it to a drink I can't remember the name of.

Breakdance so hard and be so awsome that I get flung into the past, then stop myself from drinking the poison.

Now, now, it's not nice to call granny stupid. Now you don't get any money before she leaves. Not that you're going to need it anyway. :p

Hmmm 4 minutes. I would probably go out in public in the nude.

Rotten? Thought just almonds...
Go take some ferrushexacyanate to complex the CN- ions. What? I'm a chemist's daughter...oh wait, chemicals are all at school...*hitchikes, gets raped, dies but kills the raping b***** too*

Swallow a raw egg, take sum ferrous sulphate. That way, I survive...

It's standard practice. Honest. Someone took cyanide at my dad's work once, and they had to force the egg and ferrous sulphate down him. Plus, the ferrous sulphate isn't that toxic, and it will quickly complex the cyanide into Na+ [Fe(CN)6]2-, which isn't toxic at all.

IIRC, the correct procedure is immediate ferrous sulphate or potassium permangonate (sp?) to kill the cynanide, followed by immediate hospitalisation to flush the residual sulphate/permangonate out of your system.

Mine certainly doesn't

It's 'permanganate' or 'manganate VII'. And the egg just binds the cyanide while the FeSO4 works on it. I wouldn't want to swallow potassium permanganate, it's very oxidising and would produce Chlorine gas when it reacts with the HCl in your stomach.

Does your granny happen to keep ferrous sulphate lying around her house?
Yeah, it's in weedkiller.

Yeah, it's in weedkiller.
lol So you'll consume weed killer?

Lol such lowerd expectations ? i'd call up bush and tell him off...

"Exposure to high levels of cyanide harms the brain and heart and CAN even cause coma and death." aside from this "Cyanide will readily displace the Chlorine in salt forming Chlorine free radical atoms and Sodium Cyanide" Sodium Cyanide is found in many foods you eat daily, Chlorine free radicals arent so good tho :S ahh well might as well have a w*nk as try and save myslef...

Mine certainly doesn't

My granny doesn't keep cyanide either.

I'd like to do that without having to die

quickly complex the cyanide into Na+ [Fe(CN)6]2-, which isn't toxic at all.

Already done by meh. So you're a little late.

Yeah, you forgot to mention

"Binds to non-active site on NAD, a co-enzyme crucial to respiration, permanently reshaping vital tertiary structure and making that enzyme useless as a hydrogen carrier, hence destroying the respiration process"

This is doulbly damaging as NAD is part of a cycle, so it's not like it is constanly regenerated.

Warfarin is the famous rat poison, but I don't doubt that cyanide is used.

Oh yeah. But I thought that the complex ion was formed by you ingesting FeSO4, so you wouldn't actually take it. Or does it form a further complex ion? I haven't looked at this fo quite a while.

Run naked down the middle of the A12.

write "George Bush did this to me" in permanent marker on my chest and then masturbate as I try for a happy ending.

Ferrushexacyanide is....*casts mind back to last year* [FeCN.6H2O]6+?
Cyanide forms negative ions...so....[FeCN7] + 6H2O? Jeez my dad would kill me I've forgotten all my chemistry :p

See, I thought Ferroushexacyanide was [Fe(CN)6]2-, formed by cyanide and FeSO4 reacting.

I'm takin' Granny with me...the bitch has been asking for it for years.

I'll ask my dad for the equations later if I can be bothered :rolleyes:

i would vomit in my grandmothers mouth.
so easy.

They use it in industry I believe some plastics I think ect , but didn’t a lot of rat poisons use it before like the 70’s?

Well, if it was a post, it would look like this:

*runs around screaming* *spasms* *dies painfully*

http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic118.htm

Me? I'm a nice guy, so I'd offer Granny the first glass. :D

I'd throw up. Seriously, why die when you can live?

Because I would be so freaked out about the fact I just drank fast-acting poison I would lose the ability to think logically.

Burning at stake isn't sooo bad. There are worse forms of punishment.

Granny doesn't approve. Look, she's waving that cyanide bottle at you again. Would you like a second swig?

drink the antidote, and yes there is one
or go on a naked samuri sex rampage

I'd survive, because I don't like lemonade and would never want to drink it. ;)

There's better. I mean...your eyeballs melt pretty early on, and that nice cooking smell? It's your feet. Pretty painful too, no instant reflex 'ow' and away. It's 'ow...can't move...hhhoootttt...ow *&^%!' Take a while before adrenalin kicks in there I reckon.

Actually, you'd fall unconcious after your flesh strats turning black...

id shoot the one who put the poison there then spent the rest of the time putting my finger done my throut to puke out the posion.

All this puking...no-one ever told you it's not a good thing? It does more damage on the way up. So never try to puke after injesting anything poisonous/corrosive except things like berries. :rolleyes:

Break an ampoule of amyl nitrate under my nose, inhale deeply.

Drink a solution of sodium thiosulfate in water.

Sit and wait a bit.

Drive over Filip De Winter (Fascist here in Flanders), making it look like an accident, then I've done something with my 4 minutes.

I would have switched my glass with my grandmothers,while she was in extreme angony I would produce another improved copy of her will leaving everything to me in return (empty returns only offered) for the antidote, then after the 3-4 minutes..I'd wait 5 just in case, I would place the will in her safe, destroy any incriminating evidence and make a hasty exit!...and go shopping for an outfit to wear to the funeral

Vomit like crazy

On your grandmother.

Pray like hell just in case.

McLarens reach about 250miles/hour...
Yes and no-one else will be trying to leave the city... :rolleyes: Also, can reach 250mph. If you're constantly accelerating and breaking, you'll never go fast enough to cover 25km in 4 minutes - you'd have to be going average of 105m/s, or 252mph.

EDIT: Also, I'm guessing you're American to consider using a Mclaren at top speed (necessary straight roads and all that). Anyone nuking a major US city will pull out all the stops - sort of a show of power. The figures I got were for 10MT - they get bigger.

McLarens reach about 250miles/hour...

Then at top speed for the full 4 minutes you could do about 17 miles. Which is optimistic, at best.

I can't remember the exact conversion of miles of km...but roughly, I would guess that's about 25 km...which isn't good.

I'd sit down and think of all the people I've hurt and will never be able to tell I'm sorry, then let my grandmother know it was an accident and she shouldn't feel bad, then I'd go and lay down and wait.

I would try to vomit it all up so I don't die. But also try to vomit with dignity and not all over myself so that when the paramedics come it's not really gross.
And because the idea of someone cleaning vomit off me after i've died for my funeral kind of creeps me ous :S

And when they find the cyanide in ur system they'd have a bitch of a murder case to solve.... :D

Given she keeps glasses of cyanide...

You run upstairs, boot up your Xbox and prepare to play your last ever game of Halo 2. You're just about to arm and plant the bomb in the other team's base, when...

You die.

At this second I would abandon the antidote plan and celebrate. Maybe write my will, write a living will saying 'do not pump stomach' and take a lot of sleeping pills and alcohol to aid the process.

Perhaps I could cross my fingers and say aloud:

"Spellcasting O P P O S I T E"

... Or maybe not.

Do something that would kill me instantly and painlessly so I'd avoid the pain of death by cyanide.

Run around in circles like a chicken with my head chopped off.....of course, that is just till I keel over and die :p
