Chicago Poisoner.
In September 1982, Mary Kellerman took a Tylenol (paracetamol) tablet for a cold and then died. The cause of death was the addition of potassium cyanide to a batch of pills. In addition to Mary, six other people died at the hands of an unknown poisoner. It should also be noted that the poisoned tablets contained in packages from different manufacturers, from which it was concluded that someone bought the pills, and then replaced them with poisoned ones and returned to the shelves of the store. The poisoner was never found.

Two med students were talking
A: "Hey nice bike! Where did you get it?"
B: "I was walking to class the other day when this pretty, young girl rides up on this bike. She jumps off, takes off all of her clothes, and says 'You can have anything you want!'"
A: "Good choice, her clothes wouldn't have fit you anyway."

Rosslyn Chapel
Maize
Surrounding a window are carvings of maize or Indian Corn
The presence of this plant carving in the Chapel raises many questions: not only is it an exotic plant but it originates from North America, a country traditionally thought to have been discovered by Columbus in 1492, almost 50 years after Rosslyn Chapel was built.
Musical cubes
Carved cubes that protrude from the arches of the Lady Chapel
Each one of these cubes is unique, carved with individual symbols made up of lines and dots. Various theories suggest that these may represent keys to a secret code or be musical notes. The Rosslyn Motet has recently been composed as one โsolutionโ to the code.

The Rosslyn Stave Angel - Music Cipher
The National Portrait Gallery in London houses a portrait (91.4 x 75 cm) of Sir Walter Raleigh 1554 -1618, dated to 1588 and painted by an unknown artist. It shows the famous English sailor and explorer, and also author, courtier and poet, who made various voyages to Middle and South America. He was instrumental in the British colonisation of North America, and was dedicated to the seach for the famous El Dorado.

The portrait shows Sir Walter Raleigh in all the splendour he could muster. He is wearing a doublet with large pearl buttons, a black hose decorated with many rows of pearls, a black sword belt, also decorated with pearls, and a heavy, fur-lined coat in black with straight and curved rows of appliedpearls. The final pearl detail comes in the shape of his double pearl earring
Pearls applied to Raleigh's garment may also refer to his life-long quest for the riches of the Americas: in the late fifteenth century, Columbus had discovered the rich oyster beds along the coast of Venezuela ('Pearl Coast'), which from the early sixteenth century were exploited and the pearls were being exported to Europe, as for instance the famous 'La Peregrine', which, via the Spanish royal treasury and the family of Napoleon, until recently was held by Elizabeth Taylor. But also the many pearls worn by Queen Elizabeth I in her portraits, probably originate from the Americas, and not from the East as is often surmised. The pearls applied to Raleigh's garments are probably also of American provenance.

On dragons
The dragon Smej Gorynytsch was terrorizing the region around Kiev during the 11th century.
The hero Dobrynja vanquished the dragon ultimately.
This story follows the same pattern as Zeus defeating Typhon or Perun destroying Veles.
