Question Castor Beans...

Off Topic:

I was ½ asleep the other morning when I heard on TV that one of the most potent poisons know to man is made from Castor oil or Caster beans? I don't think it was Cyanide.

The BEANS... "Ricin" is from the pulp of the bean.. bad stuff...

I bet a diesel exhaust would smell quite unique running on castor oil... Especially with some Nitro added to it... Maybe smells like FOX "Missile Mist" fuel...

Castor beans were used to make engine oil for years. I don't know if it's still around, but that's what "Castrol" was orginally.
