Puzzling Things
By Erin & Morgana
So many wonderful romances to be found in fiction! Take your pick of Pride and Prejudice, Gone With the Wind, Anna Karenina or Wuthering Heights. Happy endings are the norm, but of course it did not turn out very well for Romeo and Juliet - or Cleopatra. According to tradition, she killed herself by means of an asp bite on August 12, in the year 30 BC. However, after studying historical texts and consulting with toxicologists, some historians discovered that the asp (Egyptian cobra) venom paralyses parts of the body, starting with the eyes, before causing death. As Cleopatra would have wanted a relatively painless death, it is quite unlikely that the asp was the cause of her death. Also, the asp's bite is not always fatal. We snakes get blamed for everything!
