♫ Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho.

The Borgia Ring--a hollow ring filled with poison to later slip into drinks.

Why am I not surprised. In my current anime when they started taking of poisons and of loving poisons I first thought of Lorenzo de' Medici. I will never forget the first time I mentioned him to plotbunnydoom and the first thing she remembered about him was his supposed love of poisoning people. So now that's stuck in my head forever.

Of course then they said that. That whole "this is a Borgia Ring" line. And showed a ring with a hidden pinprick--a needle tip basically--used to issue poisons. I looked it up and supposedly the ring was real (though without the needle). Or at least rumors abound about it. One of Rodrigo's issue used it to poison rivals and whatnot. Again I say why am I not surprised.

Damn the Borgia forever. An yet... I can't help but be slightly intrigued by them. The more I hear about them the more I want to find out. Like how I got so smitten with Lorenzo and now have ten-million three or four books on him. If I start reading about the Borgia, too, please someone knock some sense into me, se ya?
