我长大了，一定比妈妈漂亮。
一屋子人哄笑，老外婆也笑，笑骂我心眼多。
转过身，有爸爸妈妈在场的时候，他们马上会换了话题，夸赞我聪敏懂事礼貌大方，至

心得。
我说，你是母鸡炒股法，蹲在一个蛋上就不挪窝。
她说，我是母鸡，你就是猴子，掰下玉米，丢了西瓜，什么也捞不到。
我说，妈，你这样不行，敌不动你不动，敌动了你也不动，你得学会止损。
她说，你老是敌不动你乱动，所以从不进步。
我说，网上有好多大牛，我帮你问问？
她说，你听人家放屁。
……
……
……
我想，就让我们一直这样吵吵闹闹下去吧，热热闹闹直到她满头银发，子孙满堂。
敬爱的母上大人，母亲节快乐！

算是一些事实依据，铊投毒未必需要专门的化学知识，其实阿加莎克里斯蒂的那本“白
马酒店‘，很多人都看过，起码我中国大学的图书馆就有。
On February 8, Li, 40, was charged with murdering her husband. She has since
pleaded not guilty and is also seeking to have her bail, currently set at
more than $4 million reduced.
Let’s acknowledge first that Li has not been convicted of murder. Still her
arrest raises some intriguing questions on the subject of poison murders.
For instance, does one need a chemistry degree to be a thallium killer?
The quick answer is no but the killer does need to have some specialized
knowledge of the poison and its potential. While the killer in my own book
was a high school graduate with no science training, those murders occurred
at a time when thallium was a widely available and well-known pesticide.
That’s less true today. The U.S. government removed it from household
markets in 1972 due to its hazardous nature.
So let’s also acknowledge that today, when thallium is less publicly
visible, one might expect a killer to have some chemical awareness. I am
aware of one other well-publicized thallium murder that involved a killer
with chemical training and that occurred in Alturas, Florida in the late
1980s. In that case, a (very) troubled former chemist became annoyed with
his neighbors, whom he perceived as noisy and inconsiderate.
The angry chemist, George Trepal, left them an anonymous gift of Coca Cola
spiked with thallium. The poisoned sodas killed one neighbor and
hospitalized two others for months. Trepal was not a scientist with a happy
history. At the time of the deaths, he had a criminal record, having
served time for working as chief chemist for a methamphetamine laboratory.
In 1991, he was convicted of one count of first degree murder and six counts
of attempted murder. He remains on Florida’s death row today and is the
subject of a book titled Poison Mind.
But investigators were never sure how Joann Curley of Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, decided to kill her husband, Robert, by putting thallium in
his iced-tea. Curley confessed to the murder in 1996, after a relentless
five year investigation into his death. And Ann Perry of Long Island,
sentenced in 2002 for killing her abusive boyfriend with thallium-laced
milkshakes, had no special chemical knowledge either.
The acclaimed British author, John Emsley, who specializes in writing about
chemistry in books such as The Elements of Murder has suggested that it’s
mystery writers like Christie who really brought thallium into public’s
mind as a murder weapon. Among the examples he gives is the case of Graham
Young, a worker in a British photographic instrument company, who killed two
of his co-workers in 1971 by mixing thallium into their coffee.
As news of Li’s murder arrest has spread, increasingly the stories have
been framed around chemist-as-killer. “Chemist killed her husband with
radioactive poison to avoid going through a divorce” was the headline in
Britain’s Daily Mail. “NJ chemist pleads not guilty to poisoning husband,
” was a more stately lead in BusinessWeek. And, of course, some of this is
just headline writing shorthand for an event.
But make no mistake. The history of thallium homicides mostly serves as a
reminder that any of us can play at the poison murder game. That anyone can
play at being a homicidal user of chemical compounds. Yes, Dr. Li had
specialized knowledge and access to thallium but as a Joann Curley proves,
such training isn’t really necessary for a determined killer. If Li is
convicted, being a research chemist won’t have made her anything special.
If anything, it’ll have led her into being just another over-confident
killer who ended up getting caught.
Caught by the evidence provided by a chemist, I might add.

给脑残们科普一下鼠药可不可以下铊毒，和铊中毒需不需要专门化学知识。

别，我不大…… :) 版务只能m奖励10个伪币，大额伪币要等活动结束后申报站务，由
站务统一发放。这篇上了首页，活动结束后会发200奖金，恭喜！另外不是600字，是
600b，约摸300字。早知道你可以把这篇拆成两篇……哈哈。
噢，你这一说我也想起来王开照相馆了，太老了，不知道现在生意如何。赞没有狭隘地
