pretty interesting news to read about. Kind of amazing that they can look back 200 years and find out how someone died.

An interesting read. Napolean is one of my, er, "favorite" figures in history.

So they finally proved it? I remember reading up on this as a kid. Cool they figured it out for sure.

a history teacher told me that Napoleon had died from poisoning from the green paint on the walls of the house he was in while on St. Helena...

Someone was being a Judas on his team.

That has been pretty much assumed for a long time, his death was odd but made sense after his 2nd short rise to power.

That's what I learned back in high school, glad to hear it wasn't more of the white man's lies. :lol:

Seems kind of strange that someone kept a sample of his hair after his death for nearly 200 years. Now that this mystery is solved, scientists can focus their full attention on figuring out if Lincoln was gay.

He wouldn't have been murdered if he had been practicing his nunchuk skills. GOSH!!!

Nunchuks make you immune to poison now?

I would have at first thought he drank it himself, interesting that someone actually poisoned him.
