* Game 4, Round 6 - History - Famous Poisonings
The following are some famous incidents of intentional poisoning.
throughout history, either single or en masse, and sometimes self-administered,
1. Roman emperor Augustus was alleged to be so afraid of being
poisoned by his wife Livia that he took to gathering his
own food. But legend has it that she managed to feed him
poison anyway. Name the specific food he ate which it is said
she poisoned.
2. The world was shocked in 2006 when expatriate Russian journalist
Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in London, England. Before he
died, he alleged the deed was done at President Putin's behest.
Name the substance used to poison him, possibly fed to him in
some sushi.
3. He made his followers in the People's Temple cult drink
cyanide-laced fruit punch in 1978. 918 people died. What
was this cult leader's *first and last* name?
4. It is often portrayed that this philosopher poisoned himself
rather than choose exile. More accurately, he willingly drank
poison in fulfillment of his death sentence for the crimes of
"corrupting youth" and "impiety", instead of taking the clear
opportunity provided to him to escape when his followers
successfully bribed his guards. Who was he?
5. Similarly, this German national hero agreed to take a cyanide
pill in return for Hitler's assurance not to persecute his
family afterwards. His death was officially reported to have
been the result of injuries previously sustained when his car
was strafed by an RAF fighter. Who was he?
6. He was an important codebreaker during England's WW2 war effort
and made fundamental contributions to computer science, but was
rewarded by his country with a prosecution for homosexuality
in 1952. He committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple.
Who was he?
7. Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was killed in London in
1978 by an assassin who managed to inject him with a ricin-filled
micro-pellet, delivered using a cleverly rigged version of what
common item?
8. Members of the Heaven's Gate cult committed mass suicide in 1997
by taking phenobarbital with vodka (and then wrapping plastic
bags around their heads for good measure), believing that a
spaceship was coming, trailing a comet, to transport their
souls to a higher level of existence. Name the *comet*.
9. How does tradition hold that Cleopatra poisoned herself?
Be specific.
10. Qin ["Chin"] Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, and the
ruler for whom the famous "terracotta army" of clay soldiers was
created, died in 201 BC after purposely ingesting mercury pills.
Why did Emperor Qin swallow mercury?

6. Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone,
And they'll come home...
7. Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells...
8. Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl...

Going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the pieman...

See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife...
* Game 4, Round 8 - Geography - Geographical Dogs
Many purebred dog breeds have names that connect them to their
country or region of origin. The numbered photos
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/4-8/geogs.jpg
are of 12 such breeds. In each case, give the name of the breed,
including the geographical descriptor (which may be the whole name
or just part of it).
Again, I've sorted the round into numerical order for convenience
in this medium. There were 2 decoys; answer them if you like for
fun, but for no points.
1. Name it.
