I'm unable to get the option list to copy any part of the article. It is an interesting and ironic article.

I could copy it, Marcus.

Here are the first 3 paragraphs:

quote:

Washington, June 28 (ANI): Monks who wrote Biblical texts and other religious materials might have died out of exposure to toxic mercury, with which the red colour ink they used for scripting was made, according to a study.

Kaare Lund Rasmussen, a University of Southern Denmark scientist at the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, believes that the ink might have been the culprit.

He came to this conclusion after studying medieval bones from six different Danish cemeteries.

Cool Thank you. I kept getting an option menu for playback for some reason.

Isn't that in fact old news and wasn't there a movie with this as the theme. Mystery of the Rose I believe.

Now I know why my teachers used to get so upset when people chewed on their pens.

In The Name of the Rose the last surviving copy of Aristotle's Comedia had been deliberately poisoned.
