Grissom gave this one away, but otherwise I'm sunk. I never pay attention to the titles even on shows I watch.

It's almost exactly the same. I hope they're paying big licensing fees to Hasbro.

Sharyn McCrumb writes a story into one of her novels about a wife who wants to kill off her husband, who's been attempting to stay young by eating arsenic every day. He falls ill and is bedridden with something, I forget what, so she has control over what he eats. She halts the arsenic completely, and the withdrawal kills him. Gruesome!

This was a really good stack for me. Good luck to Betty tomorrow. Er, today.
