Comment Poisons for names... (Score 1) 862

Can't get to view the comments right now, so I hope this isn't a duplicate post...

I ran into need for names for ~25 systems a couple of years ago, and settled on naturally-occurring human-fatal toxins. Sorted them alphabetically, and came up with about 20, had to jump to Princess Bride for one that started with an 'I' ("What you do not smell is Iocaine powder..."), could have had quite a few more, but requirement was first letter of each had to be unique.

It was fun hearing the techs call out "Belladonna died again" or "Hemlock is alive" across the lab.
