Hmm I can help with the following

1)Import racing history (as I wrote in a thread here not too long ago)

2)Very good at buying used Japanese cars. So if you are looking for a beater, I will find it no charge of course

3)I can fix any japanese cars pretty much. Being doing timing belt/clutch jobs since I was 16.

4)Currently in school for Legal Studies and Business (undergrad)...in reality it means I can tell you info from books which doesn't help in the real world.

5)Have knowledge on importation of difficult cars to the US from Japan/Australia, and have friends at CA licensing places.

and i spent a lot of time in the aussie outback killing and skinning and eating things, so i'm also good with knives and guns.

 

Dom...........since you're a Toxicology expert.....I've heard a lot about Ricen lately............why is it so deadly, it's made from Castor beans right? I don't expect you to say "how it's made" ...but it seems fairly easy......a few people in the news have been busted making it. Is it dangerous to handle, can an average person make it, does it take a lot of knowhow, a real laboratory.....just general stuff............I've seen people getting arrested for it, and I'm wondering how they all make it themselves.

 

Product sourcing has been something I enjoy doing and wouldn't mind helping chat mambers with. You name it I will find it.

Do you have hookups on cellphones? And if so what company?

 

I build computers in my spare time and I am my neighborhood fix-it guy.

 

Ricin acts mainly by blocking protein synthesis and leads to cell death. If ingested in sufficient amounts, ricin can cause severe gastroenteritis, GI hemorrhage, and hepatic, splenic, and renal necrosis. Death may occur secondary to circulatory collapse. However, toxicity via oral injection is limited due to absorption (it can be efficiently destroyed in the intestine).

It is relatively easy to extract (requires knowledge of chromatography, so anyone with a Bachelors degree in biology or chemistry would be able to do it). This ease of extraction, and relatively wide availability makes it a potential biological WMD, which is why you hear about it so much. However, since it is not that toxic (relative to say, botulism toxin), it may be limited as a WMD.

Hope this helps.
