Full Version: That special potion...
DaNy
Do you remember about that potion that Larten gives to Darren, when he has to fake his death? emo-no.gif
Do you think potions like that really exsist? =O And if so, where on the Earth may we find them? XD Definitely not in a supermarket! emo-risatina.gif It would be...disqueting XDDD

In another book I've read there is a potion that has the same effect, but there is a difference: who drinks it falls asleep and wakes up only after many hours..
Demonate
I doubt there is.
DaNy
Who knows... XD I'm curious....
Golly Gosh It's Johnny
Well I think thier is one but you're not not awake or asleep, you just makes you go into a short time coma and wake out of it after a few hours or a day.
But with nasty side effects.
Demonate
Like what?
Larten's little boy
That potion kind of reminded me of the one in Romeo and Juliet. The one that Juliet takes to fake her death so she can run away with Romeo. It gave her the apperance of being dead but she was not. I wonder if Master Shan borrowed said potion from Sir William's book.
Demonate
I actually never thpught of that,I should have because I was doing it in school but...

Good idea LLG.
Ms Debbie
Lol i did R+J at school and i know that, it seems that its copied from R+J but its way better than R+J

and i really think there is one potion in real life that could fake your death

I never thought of that. O_O You're right.

Good thinking Shiny! *huggles*
Ms Debbie

DaNy
I'll ask my Biology teacher! xD I'll tell her I've read about one in a story (well, it's the truth!)

P.S. The other book I've read I talked about into the topic is Romeo and Juliet XD Lol.
Ms Debbie
lol so have i i have talknig about the new R+J with guns and stuff
DaNy
Hmmm...this wasn't exactly what I was looking for...

In ''The Four Feathers,'' Heath Ledger escapes prison by drinking a potion that simulates his own demise. Do such elixirs exist?

There's no classic recipe, but certain opiates would do the trick, according to Dr. Steven Seifert, poison specialist at Children's Hospital in Omaha. ''A high amount of morphine or opium would depress respiration, and you could get very pale as a result -- enough to possibly give you the appearance of death.'' And though humans can go up to five minutes without oxygen, Seifert warns against experimenting at home. ''It's a dangerous business, because if you're not careful, you run the risk of [temporary death] becoming long-term.''


Mika's girl
That's close. But he was in there for a few days. But that's still pretty cool!
DaNy
happy.gif Yeah!

P.S. Can anyone help me to find more information? I'm not that good at it sad.gif
Mika's girl
Yeah I'll try looking for some.
DaNy
Thanks!
I forgot to ask my teacher, I will next Monday.
Ms Debbie
i could help you find the new romeo and juliet, the ones with guns and some more cool things
DaNy
Cool! I know they made loads of movies about that love story ^^

Ms Debbie
aye, i have seen the film of the new R+J and it is really great..
Vancha March
Hmmm, haven't seen R+J. Anyway about that potion i think it exists except that what i heard was its a venom from a spider that causes you to be in a full body paralysis.
But who knows? I might just be wrong

biggrin.gif
DaNy
Hey, welcome to the forum! ^^ Cool nickname, Vancha rocks!

Hmmm...just like Madame Octa's one, then? ^-^

P.S. By the way, I asked my teacher, she said that some venoms can cause the IMMEDIATE death by full paralysis, but she added that it's unlikely the effect is only partial. (She meant, that the person doesn't lose consciensounes and the brain isn't damaged by the poison). xD
Ms Debbie
lol mabe xP and ya vancha is good and rocks
Drewskie
I asked Coach Allen about something that could give one the appearance of death. But he just laughed at me and called me a complete and total idiot who lets his imagination get the best of him.
Courtney Deanna
i have no idea.
i wouldn't think it would exsist.

Black Angel Wings
I wonder if there's such thing, I never thought about it.
DaNy
Yeah, putting ice on your skin makes you feel no sensations. At least, until you remove it! xD
Demonate
So theres a couple of things that can give you the appearance of death then.
AirstreamPicaroon
And there are anesthetics but you would still be breathing, so you don' have the total illusion of death . . .
