M. (hristine Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BelladonnaThe name belladonna originates from the historic use by women (Bella Donna is Italian for beautiful lady) to dilate their pupils; an extract of belladonna was used as eye drops as part of their makeup preparations. The Belladonna toxin's atropine content had the effect of dilating the pupil, thus making their eyes supposedly more attractive. Dilated pupils are considered more attractive (especially with females) because pupils normally dilate when a person is aroused, thus making eye contact much more intense than it already is. It had the adverse effect of making their vision a little blurry and making their heart rates increase. Prolonged usage was reputed to cause blindness.Occasionally, the plant is used for recreational purposes: it is consumed in the form of either a tea or simply raw, which can produce vivid hallucinations, described by many as a 'living dream'. It was used by the Manson Family[citation needed] and may have had influence in harming the members psychologically and making them more violent. Upon consumption of this plant, the user will experience all the severe, adverse anticholinergic effects before hallucinating and continue to do so while hallucinating. I think I was offered some of this once - back in the day.It grows in my garden. Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 i'm a little tardy on this, but i'm with dscf. 10pt is going to annoy someone, kick it up to 12. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT EFFECT THAT WOULD HAVE ON THE MARGINS? DO YOU?? I don't think you've fully considered the repercussions of your advice. If we go to 11 (not to mention bloody 12!), I'm gonna have to either adjust the margins (further), or cut some content, and it's pretty goddamn concise right about now, so you're looking at comically wide margins or cutting some pretty choice, meaty bits. I'm just not sure that's going to happen at this point. This is quite the conundrum. I do thank you for you input, however, Miss Fickleson. I will take it under advisement.

caliber66 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I am waiting with baited breath. So I made some changes that I'm pretty happy with, and I didn't have to sacrifice much content, NOR did I have to adjust the margins any more than I already had. I'm quite relieved. And it's "bated," Mr. College. Link to post Share on other sites
