I've mentions Schott's Friday Miscellany before, and the subject of this week's mailing is the (somewhat familiar) 'Dangerous Food and Drink'. Included in the list of foods that killed famous folks is the following:

QUINTUS FABIUS MAXIMUS (fl.200BC): the Roman praetor who choked to death on a single goat-hair within a cup of MILK.


We've blogged on this before, almost a year ago ... (source questions remain!)
